A 3 race inter-club fell competition

[2pies]

Dear all,

can I have your comments on a proposal that Neville and I have had from Helsby and Tattenhall Runners about a 3 race interclub fell competition for 2012.

Can you split your comments into:
1) about the race choices;
2) about the rules (see the attachment).

The race choices are
Spectrum race proposals: (so Helsby and Tattenhall to choose these)
· Bull Hill Thurs 12th July (8.8km)
· Whittle Pike Wed. 8th August (8.2km)
Helsby race proposals: (so Spectrum and Tattenhall to choose these)
· Moel Fammau Mon 27th August (Bank holiday race, 7.4km)
· King John Castle Sat 22nd Sept (7.4km, may clash with Northern road relays)
Tattenhall race proposals: (so Helsby and Spectrum to choose from these)
· Hotfoot up Fammau Wed 20th June (5.6km)
· Moel-y-Gamelin Sun 24th June (15.2km)

Neville and I, in conjunction with the committee, will have to make final recommendations on the race choices and the rules. It would be great to see your collective views as i am sure there will be some widely differing opinions. Even if it comes down to why there is not a Cheshire race in the list this year! So forum please discuss at length (and make it even harder to decide)...and quickly please....NB i am hoping to meet Helsby and Tattenhall on Wednesday 4th January evening if i can.

Sounds really interesting.
1) Early notification would help to plan around, plus evening races may suit better.
2) Agreement with the proposed rules.

I'm in.

sounds good

I think the Hotfoot up Fammau race on a Wednesday evening might be difficult to get to for some?

Good point about hot foot up fammau.. the three races which were chosen are

The Druid               - Wednesday 11th July (8km, 366m climb, or 5mile and 1100ft)
Whittle Pike            - Wednesday 8th August (8.2km & 488m, or 5.1m and 1400ft)
King John’s Castle      - Saturday 22nd September (7.4km &264m)

we have simplified the scoring rules too.

Errr yeah, good point, but in terms of getting to the race in time what's the difference between Hotfoot Up Fammau and The Druid and Whittle Pike?

You can count me in as a should be better by then but I may have problems getting to the mid week ones

Yes, I usually avoid mid-week runs too - scared of the dark I suppose :¬/

Nowadays I tend to favour the mid-week races. Weekends have largely been hijacked by my daughters
