It all seems to be a little cake and arse to be honest IMO.

Postal entries open but according to the website -

"We are not able to publish a list of entrants prior to the event however in the first instance entry is confirmed once your cheque has been cashed and this will be followed subsequently by issue of a entrant number and handbook. In the interim we will endeavour to answer all enquiries by email as swiftly as possible although it make take up to a week for postal entries to enter the system".

So you have no idea that you are in, until they present your cheque to the bank, by which time it could be too late to enter online or even worse, the event is full.

Entry and cheque was sent 10 days ago but not cashed so god knows what is happening..........?

Easy for an armchair critic but if they spent more time sorting useful things out for the people who want to enter the event rather than new web sites etc, it could save the organisers a lot of time.
