As I have said before, this is not the support site for the esfrc website. It is not helpful to have messages like this on this forum as it makes my job that bit harder than it already is.

Several other people have registered and entered runners without any trouble. I responded to your email about this matter as soon as I received it, but note that you haven't tried to log on since then.

Bear in mind that everyone involved in the organisation of the ESFRC is a volunteer and doing this all unpaid. I am doing my best, but if it is not good enough, then I guess I won't do it at all!

Hi Lecky sorry about that, had no intention to agrevate a situation at all, in fact had no idea the web master was you! I will log on and register the kids, its just getting the time when I can access a computerat the moment which is pretty rare!

No problem. You have all week before the T-Shirt deadline expires.

http://www.esfrc.org/help

I was still having difficulty on all my computers (5 I've tried) so I took a punt on bypassing the front page by using the /help option and it worked.

I am now in :)

We have had well over 200 entries so far. As expected a big rush today.

You still have time to enter before the T-Shirt Deadline if you enter by midnight on Sunday 16th September 2012.

www.esfrc.org

The T-Shirt entry deadline has passed with 355 entered.

You can still enter until Noon on Satruday 23rd September 2012, but won't get the free T-Shirt.

We're getting close to the final closing date for the ESFRC, Noon on Saturday 22nd September 2012. After that, there we will not be taking entries at all.

To date we have 432 entries, an excellent 27 more than last year, well done everyone.

See you there.

Very heavy rain overnight at Cockermouth with strong winds, met office forecast is for this to ease but ground obviously sodden and will still be raining. Currently (07.50) Championships are still ON, but may mean that we are looking at reducing the courses, this allows both more control over courses (more marshalls for just one route) and reduces the amount of time older runners are out. We will also be asking runners to carry a waterproof top during their race.

Please ensure all your runners have suitable kit to keep warm and dry & spare to get into post race, the school has plenty of cover plus warm food & drinks.

RO will review situation at 11.00 after another course inspection.

Thanks
Duncan

Duncan we obviously only saw this after the event but as I drove across from Penrith this morning I feared the event might be called off. Luckily it wasn't and what a fantastic event it was, brilliantly organised. A great venue to hold an event of this size. Thanks to Martin and yourself and all the others who helped organise and more importantly managed to keep the day ON despite the horrendous conditions. A real credit to all the hardy athletes who endured all that water and strong winds. Roll on next year.

I totally agree - we came across from Richmond and I wasn't sure it would be on or what the kids would make of the conditions. As it turned out they absolutely loved it and it was brilliantly organised. I thought it took balls to keep it on and it proved to be a good decision. Massive thanks to all concerned from Richmond School.
