Ollie's map
I see neither the Hull nor York urban events appear on Ollie's map, I'm guessing this is an input problem at the point of registration as the location details on the accompanying list are not live. Is there anything to be done about this as it is so much easier to look at the map to see what's on locally than trawl through the BOF fixture list?

Re: Ollie's map
The BOF database does not hold either a postcode or grid reference - and I guess Ollie's map is driven from one or both of these.
(I've made this point to other event organisers in the past - but surprisingly they never seem that bothered! Does it arise when only the club fixture secretary, rather than the event organiser, has access to the database?)

I think this also rules out your event when searching the BOF events list by distance away.

Yes, it's driven from the grid reference.
I suppose a workaround could be to guess the location from the name of the club.
Stop talking, start running.
