Ebized Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 .... i would like to thank Colin who without his help the weekend would not have been possible My thanks to Dave in return - reckon we make a good team, eh And just 3 other mentions, - firstly ChrisS who helped me enormously with the route planning (and his 'marshaling' on the Sunday) - although having done some recces it was his local knowledge, and particuarly after the damage to roads from last winter, that helped us to find some different roads, which I hope you agree offered some spectacular scenery as well as giving some great driving pleasure? Secondly, to Alex Wyatt, the manager at Moreton, who was so encouraging and helpful and arranged a new hose set-up for us after I had said how fastidious we were on the cleaning front . Also to his staff who pulled out the stops to make it such a great weekend. Having checked with the reception manager on leaving, you will be pleased to hear they received no complaints about our 'takeover' of their site and thought we were a great bunch Lastly, but most importantly, to my wife June who not only helped me get things ready for the weekend but put up with me spending most of spare time for a few weeks beforehand preparing for the weekend and then when I take her there I am off leaving her alone That is, until I take her on the drives and and say don't get us lost whilst exploring the 370's handling Fortunately, she could just hang on and be 'look out' as the sat nav in the 370 worked spot on to keep us on route - might have to encourage a few others to but 370's now so they don't lost, mentioning no names neil Seeing everyone's comments made all the hard work so worthwhile and both Dave and I feel really bouyed by the kind words, especially after a difficult moderating period when the winter seemed to create boredom postings that tested our patience - you never know after this weekend we may have convinced his resgination was little premature - I for one sincerely hope so. October - well if we get enough requests - who knows......and perhps we can pick the best parts of the weekends routes and that we did last October - how do I break it to June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I would like to echo all the commenst thus far, the organisation of the event was agaion second to none. The input shown by others outside the organising team was very welcomed and I cant praise them enough too. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend and cant wait until the next one. In the meanwhile I shall certainly be going to the shows and looking forward to meeting some of you all again soon Next one is Modified Live by the way, followed soon after by many others, check the meets section for more details. A resounding success and thanks again to Colin and Dave for their efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank to all for a great weekend. Chris 1) Count yourself well and truly stepped up from newbie status 2) What snow (Sorry there is no sound - its like watching an old B &W movie ) 3) Thought the hi viz was very becoming 4) Anyone quick enough to stay with you on your local roads - good luck to them 5) You should know from this forum that Jags are not everyone's flavour 6) It was great that Steph and Liam both had a turn to enjoy the runs and yes, I need all the help you and others can offer to ensure June comes out on the runs again. (BTW, hope Liam enjoyed the little buzz up the A5 and back in the 370 ) 7) Oh, and one other thing - you are on a charge for standing with your hands in your pockets whilst on duty - zDan has provided the evidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I need all the help you and others can offer to ensure June comes out on the runs again. I beleive they are waiting on a WAGs section to be set up so they can arrange their own entertainment at the next Wales Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
