I'm by no means "anti SI" but being a simple kind of soul, I do like to try and keep things simple. Against this, only yesterday after the Darren Jones Clougha Pike race we had a glaring case of where the runners themselves do not assist with keeping things simple. The RO and I were certain that all 125 competitors in the main race were safely back ( all numbers listed [ out & back ] by marshals at various locations including start & finish ); but having cleaned up in the chapel schoolroom, we opted for a belt and braces approach driving out in all directions from the X-roads to see if there were any cars still parked up. We spotted one car that was not parked directly outside a property and noted its registration number. Back to the RO's and a cuppa whilst perusing the entry forms to see if the vehicle belonged to one of our runners. Some chance! Only about 30% of the forms contained a vehicle registration number. If competitors want the basic methods to work ( and RO's not to resort to technology ) then please use the basic methods.
