Jogging Jon
Thanks for organising today JJ Flash, it was good to meet up with other fetchies again and of course meet Mick n Phil once again.
I am really happy to be involved in anyway that I can be of use. I will try and come to the core group meetings but will find monthly meetings on Sundays difficult.
Mrs JJ had a good idea for getting the message out about the race. If we get an entry form made up as soon as possible with a link from these pages and then ask anyone running in local races to print out copies and distribute at races. We coud also do a email to as many running clubs as we can with a copy of the entry form and ask them to promote within their clubs.
I am also happy to help in writing to potential sponsors, just let me have the copy of any begging letter, a list of sponsors already approached and I will get onto it.

Sorry folks, but will be on holiday on 23rd November so won't be able to take part. But a huge good luck to everyone connected with the event. Hope it all goes well.

well done, guys - excellent work!
i'm afraid i'm too far from draycote and london for meetings etc but as i've already said, available on the day for regular dogsbodying before after and during!
and i can print off entry forms to distribute at local races and those i've entered. will it have an explanatory paragraph for those who don't know micknphil?

I know you must already have thought of it but Runners World & running fitness have the upcoming races section at the back.
I think I'm already on the yellow jacket list, I think either date is fine for me.

JJ Flash...I can offer you my services from July 27 until August 31. I am on school holidays then. I'll still have school work to do but I'll have a lot of free time to kill as well. I'm in the states from the 26th of July to the 12th of August, but can still do stuff from there if you need me to. (I'll tell my dad I'm phoning important people.)
Good job on the organisation!!!!!!!!!!!

Apologies to anyone I may have left off the "monthly core group" list (I was taking names, but not sure I remembered all the hands that were up).

jj - if you need a dogsbody to coordinate entries and stuff i will do it, i work part time and am hapy to sit in front of the computer and send out entry packs and stuff
oh and i will worry for you
i do that for the jw and i am very good at it
i agree with what others have said about keeping it simple
no chips or anything like that
we have managed to get the local sea scouts to man the water stations for us for the jw - they were really keen, they just kept saying yes - so might be worht thinking about for anyone who is local
it frees up other people for marshalling - which you don't really need for a circuit around a lake anyway - apart from for safety reasons

I have some time untl end of July, if you let me know what needs doing
Simple is probably best - if it works can always be improved/complicated/altered next time
ANother vote for asking Scouts/army cadets/etc - they are usually willing to help at stuff as it can count towards service badges etc for them
