So, a short status update before our meeting tomorrow;
Marshals
We are looking in good shape for marshals and helpers; many thanks to all those who have stepped forward and offered to help. Andy H is 'lead marshal' and coordinating the activities for the whole course. Norman has produced an excellent Risk Assessment for the course and we must adhere to this in terms of the minimum presence at various key points. We will in fact go beyond this requirement but the document itself is approved at National level and is mandatory. Obvious I know, but this is perhaps the most important thing to get right on the day. We have first class schematics showing positions for all signs and marshalls for the whole course and these will be a huge assist in making sure we get it right. I know Andy has done a lot of preparation already in terms of who goes where and hopefully tomorrow we can make sure all slots are covered.

Okay, some general info :
- entries are now closed and we have 180 riders in total; the main field has 120, 2 tandems and 58 in the overflow. All entered Oggies are in and will ride the overflow. The main field can/will start at 10.01 - not quite thought through the timings for the others but probably tandems at 10 mins before 10.01 and the overflow at 8.41 or similar to give 10 mins gap between them and the tandems - all amendable and can be agreed tomorrow
- I'm working on the start sheets and will have them with me tomorrow evening for scrutiny/amending as necessary before I upload to the CTT website
- all clear received from SWTRA and RCT (both bodies been great with their help). RCT (lady named Tidfil) has driven the course looking for any issues and we will repeat this mid next week.
- timekeepers are Julia Jones (start), Norman & Tudor Thomas (finish)
I'm wondering if there is any advantage if tomorrow I collect from the lockup all those items that we need on the day. I could bring these to the meeting tomorrow evening and that gives us 2 Fridays to distribute and check as needed. Andy / et al - what do you think ?
