It would be a shame if all marshalls had to be specially appointed and all races had to be applied for in advance.
A sentiment from Fred Dibnah of all people gave me positive thoughts though, he never forgot that all the work carried out on restored traction engines was done by volunteers, men up and down the country quietly working away in their own time with very little money; sounds a bit like fell running to me. Steam power fell out of favour in the mid sixties and for 44 years or more it's stayed this way (voluntary that is), if i wanted to help restore a locomotive it would probably be as easy as volunteering as a race marshal. I hope fell running will stay as a sport of madmen quietly sprinting up and down mountains, with very little paid in entry fees assisted by willing volunteers.
Got mine On Friday, still gleefully ploughing through it. Love it.
Congratulations to all you newly published poets :)
Again Britta triumphs, with a colour supplement as well.
We are truly blessed with an amazing quality of production.
Just to be picky tho, we are not quite so blessed with spelling - there are at least 3 different variations on 'accommodation' I've found so far.I thought it were regional variation at first but no.;)
So who is the young lad on the back page of the anni mag that was born 40 yrs ago?
I was wondering that. The photo looks too modern to be 40 years.Quote:

Is that really a threat? or scaremongering?Quote:

What race is Pen is that the new year oneQuote:

...had been thinking the same thing. It's not so much the being late that worries me, but the possibility that it may never arrive :(Quote:

I know there are a few extra copies from the printers; maybe that's why.
Change of address or missing magazines: Please contact Debbie Thompson (details in each mag also!)
I've forwarded your email to Debbie Paul - but i only have a few spare copies here and sending those out would not get to the root of the problem anyhow. Debbie and Martin manage the membership database/mailing list and also hold spare copies of the magazine!
that's great thanks Britta :)

Hooray just got home to find the mag on the mat - looks brilliant after a flip through. Thanks again
P :)
Ditto, thanks, Bruce:)Quote:
