Re-arrangement of JOK/Nat Ev

Postby wonderboy » Fri Mar 17, 2006 3:34 pm

June 3rd/4th is the next weekend I'm free, and if it could be rearranged that early then it could still make this years UK Cup!
:wink:
However, I guess that with fixtures planning being so advanced, it'll probably be a lot later than that. :cry:

Still, off for a weekends winter fell walking in the Lakes instead (I don't do fell racing,though probably should,as anyone who saw my BUSA result can see from my apalling ability up the hills!) :o

A June race may give me some time to actually do some training and get fit(ter) 8)

Not looking forward to JK Elite in this condition! :roll:

That's not a bad idea - 2nd weekend of the spring bank holiday week- some could make a long weekend of it. :)

just worked out that if these races don't count for ukcup then i'm only going to get 4/5 scores but it will still be 6 to count :( maybe i'll have to go to the jk afterall!

what about them? theres plenty of events on through the various exam periods! FCC final is smack bang in the middle of my uni exams but that's just tough luck!

It is unlikely that the National Event can be rearranged in time to be included in the UK Cup. JOK sprint is probably a bit more flexible but still unlikely.

This is going to leave the UK Cup (and FCC?, and me personally) short of a couple of events. I am sure the UK Cup organisers are already considering what to do, but it seems to me that the best option is to replace the events with others that are already in the calendar. The regional event at Graythwaite the week after the JK would be a good replacement for the National - provided the organisers are happy with the idea. There's still a couple of weeks before entries close to sort it out.
