Well as I'm being talked about might as well have my say. At first I was a bit miffed I wasnt selected, but Jon Carberry told me his reasons, all sounded quite reasonable to me so I can't really argue. Hopefully I'll get to run next year

And anyway, I might come down to give the lads (n lasses) a bit of support.

You pick your team Robert and we'll pick ours.

no, rhys, liz picks are team, and we are 100% behind every decision that is made. We can critize north wests team because we believe its unfair and we are confident

bedders, please do come, you could give me a hand with something.

[Lizi Beee]

what something would that be? yeah alex u need to ask el sue/jon about that n dad can book u a place in el minibus before the DEE lot get the remaining ones... altho, we defo need to get ro one... (scuse my scallie there, been in "stocky" today "yo lol frikka"... "wanna come down manny for a burgoh?" etc etc)

rob you shouldnt be publicly criticizing the NW team manager's decision. its between alex and the team manager and they've obviously already discussed the decisions so the stirring stops now.

[Lizi Beee]

i'm not critising it, its their choice, and we were just saying we'd queeried it, which shows we are a very team spirited, even with newer people. but there ya go...

Yeah, but at the end of the day, i'm entilited to voice my opinion, and they are entitled to ignore it. I'm held by no bounds anymore, so i stand by what i said.

Don't like the sound of that Bedders - or am I just dirty minded

[rob f]

Na, its something i need done for a project but can't do while im running

[Rookie]

I wasn't saying that anyone in the team shouldn't be (or that anyone was unfairly left out), thats managers decisions and should be left at that.

What i was criticising was holding a major junior competition in the exam period

[rob f]

Ah, well its traditionally been on the last weekend on june, and only recently have exams gone on after the last weekend in june

[m4rk]

its been since curriculum 2000 started hasnt it (ie first exams 2001)? Youd think enough juniors would have mentioned it for them to consider moving it,i wonder why they havnt

[Lizi Beee]

they have considered it i thought... but didnt they decide they were between a rock n a hard place? cos they cant move it forward much, due to exams (or loads forward would clash with the more important races) and they cant move it to later as this goes into scottish hols and alo begins to get in the way of summer events. Yeah what project is this rob? ur not the only one who thought it was dodgy rhys!

[Peter B]

Your FINAL DETAILS are now up...

[Rookie]

cant move it to later as this goes into scottish hols

the problem...

Perhaps people should start. The problem is it doesn't affect everyone each year. I'd go if it were in NW, south Scot or Yorkshire (go myself each day) but east midlands is too far to travel each day.

[Peter B]

The reason why this weekend wasn't put back a week this year despite all the exam clashes was not just because it overlaps on to Scottish school holidays but also because the formal decision was made last year to fix it to the last weekend of June.
