A copy of the email sent to all entrants / waiting list people today.

"Regardingthe Darren Holloway Buttermere Race. An update on entries – with three and ahalf weeks to go.
Firstly,thanks to all those who have returned their entry to me. This now stands atnearly 20 runners, so 20 people have moved off the waiting list, or have anoutstanding invite. This is very encouraging and reflects well on the fell runnerswho have acted with such generous thought of other runners.
We wouldlike to not have any runners on the waiting list at the start of the race.
To improvematters either further, it would help if everyone on the waiting list wouldkeep an eye on their emails, and act upon the invite as soon as possible. SomeI have been able to turn around overnight, some are taking nearly a week and itis becoming a challenge keeping track of these.
If youreceive an invite and don’t want it, then please let me know. This would bebetter than just leaving it – it then takes a week before I can invite someoneelse.
Whichbrings us to the next prompt………
Either yourtraining is going well……or since the last email, your promised training has yetto start – in which case, now is the time to email me and return your entry. Thesooner the better – I could do with sorting entries out in the next two weeksor so.
If you are onthe waiting list – keep the faith, and keep training. If you now don’t want torace, then you can remove yourself from the waiting list. Or you can contact meand I can remove you.

Thanks forall your continued help."
