NHTT is not a Fetch event and there are many more runners who are not on Fetch that run it. IMO it's not our choice, but the organisers. Unless you mean this is a Fetch social only.

EGB is the organiser, DL, which is why I've asked him to come back to the thread!

Starbucks isn't a bad idea and there is no reason why we shouldn't try it out.
The good things about the Starbucks is that there is no need for booking, and people can order what they want and the portions are normally huge.
On the other hand, its trickier to get to. Its easy if you want to walk and you know where to go - but if you want to drive well unfortunately the parking closer to town isn't free.
Its unfortunate the Hilton couldn't give us a better option than this kind of 'rationing', but that said we could try it this week and see but if we're unimpressed we could move to the Starbucks next week.
ALSO there are 2 starbucks in town, which one did you go to last time?

We went to the one in Festival Place on the upper level. It was about half a mile from the park.
I'm all for going to the Hilton this week and seeing how the new system works. I wonder how they'd take to the idea of taking a knife and cutting the huge pastries into two :¬)

Isn't there some sort of sports/fitness center right next to where we park? Wondered if there was somewhere in there we could sit down, even if it was a case of everyone bring something for the table like we do at the Reading Fetch Miles.
