Too late now of course, but one to bear in mind, i feel.

The official was doing his job. The starter - ME - did know he'd sent them off to get a top. I insisted that they go and get a top - it was their own fault that they went up to start without anything as it was clearly signed at registration and was announced by me several times. I cannot believe that anyone turns up at a race in NOVEMBER thinking they'll not have to carry anything - it's the first thing I find out when I register. I delayed the start several minutes as it was. It would be unfair on the rest of the runners who did have the required kit to hold the start any longer.
