I really really do simpathise with the organisers, it must be really sole destroying having to put a holt to something that they obviously worked hard on. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokey_joe Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 A real shame, me and Kev have had a right laugh over the last 2 1/2 years, good challenging events with a good social side. What next unfortunately the LRS is too far to travel for us , we will just have to retreat back into those Welsh mountains, truck needed some love anyway, maybe I`ll buy a new pair of Wellies instead. Many thanks for the Buxton & District organising team for your efforts, it is much appreciated. When I was sat in the bath 10 minutes after leaving Wern Duu I was thinking of you out all night collecting in the punches and bunting :-). Cheers, Guss.

Team Idris Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 All clubs seem to be struggling with marshals and officials. A few folks are doing a lot and if they stop, then the events stop. And I certainlly know of one official who got annoyed about payment for personal-outlay and changed clubs this time last year. That club hasn't run a challenge event since! So I wonder if competitiors should be chucking in more entry fee to help fund marshals traveling? This is just a guess on my part. MOC used to pay a fiver for marshals as lunch/fuel money. Are there marshals on here who would think this sort of thing but bigger would help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I felt very sorry and had a drink for an hour with the Club's setter outer's/Marshall's at the Mow Cop site the other week on a late Saturday afternoon when the Club i.e. BADLRC couldn't be arsed to let them know it was cancelled after they gave their weekend up and set up all Saturday, wonder why they spat their dummies out and told them to get stuffed. I feel very sorry for them the way they have been treated and for their effort and contributions throughout the years, and sarky comments / smiles etc. Thank you lads. Have I renewed my membership to the Buxton and District LRC this year?, same as they say in their carefully worded letter time "for a sabatical".

hotspanner Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Sad to hear of the problems enjoyed the well layed out events and off course help supporting the challenge rounds this year same old problems lack of support by so many to the few that do the donkey work. To be honest what thanks do you as competitors give to someone that spends all there time planning and setting out a challenge event a round of applause at the end of the event and then bugger off home But to most that do this they dont expect anything more like myself the best thing a competitor can say to me having just finished an event ive set up is.. That was a really GOOD event whens the next one Thats all the incentive i need to organise the next event i dont want payment for doing so ,and anyone who does is in the wrong sport Hope to see you all next year Our next event The Whitbread Challenge 2012 date to be anounced very soon most likley date end of April or early May All are welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrodant Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Maybe instead of dissapearing of grumbaling, competitors should show there support for the "dedicated few". If the support isnt forthcomming from within the BADLRC " then maybe its about time that the competitors throw some energies into helping with events ??. lets face it we all like playing, but this leads to broken trucks, and this costs money and time to fix, so why not VOLINTEER to help at an event, maybe help set some punches on a saterday ,scrutineer some trucks on the sunday, bring a friend to help marshal?? whatever u feel u can offer, DON'T LET THIS EXELENT SPORT LOOSE A DAM GOOD SERIES!! for the lack of a bit of effort, and as for the LRS too far south "tough its near my house" and thats because i got of my arse and helped set it up because i got sick of travalin miles and miles for an event, u can always move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yella 90 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 if i set a few punches out people would curse and not speak to me again but f me...can you picture boothy setting punches out, the challenge wouldnt be getting to the punch, it would be getting him to the punch on a lighter note i would certainly help out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
