Well I guess most of you have been watching the medal rush on tv, so why not have a go at being the next Rebecca Addlington, or Chris Hoy!!

Come along to our very own RIVERSIDE OLYMPICS and 'go for gold' on 'Super Saturday' September 6th. Meet at the rowing club at 2pm sharp for the opeining ceremony. Games will commence at 2.30pm. Followed by 'picnic in the park'

To remind you of your teams:

Eaton Ford/Eaton Socon side of the river - Mexico
Town/Eynesbury side of the river - Norway
The Villages - Hawaii

It would be great if you could come appropriately dressed for your country!!

This will be a great day out for all the family.

If you have any questions please see - H, Norma,Ruth, Liz, Paul Ridley or Maurice.

Cheers!

Another succesful open water Lake swim practice session was completed on Saturday, 7 swimmers in attendance. The water was a "tad colder" than the previous swim due to the rain. Those that braved it without a suit said "it wasnt to bad". If you are interested at the next session there will be some wet suits for you to "tri"
Those who have never swum in a suit may find it much more comfortable and indeed easier. Come and give it ago
Next session will be Saturday 30th @ 7.30.

HI ALL INTERESTED READ THIS

A 10 or 20 mile challenge for you.

Dunstable Road Runners will again be staging their off road event, The Dunstable Downs 20 Mile Challenge, this year on 28th September 2008 starting at 10:30am. This is the 4th year for this event which has proved very popular with those who have participated.

The Dunstable Downs 20 Mile Challenge is an off road event starting from the foot of Dunstable Downs on the western outskirts of Dunstable. The route has changed slightly to previous years but still takes in the picturesque and popular Dunstable Downs and follows a scenic circular route through picturesque villages in a southerly direction towards Hemel Hempstead, of approximately 20 miles. There is also a shorter route of appoximately 10 miles again in the same general direction. Both routes are slightly different to previous years, starting at the foot of Dunstable Downs and finishing at Dunstable Town Football Club.

It is not a race and is now only open to runners, with a 5 hour limit. The route is predominantly on footpaths and bridleways with some short stretches of road and pavement. Most of the road crossings are made on quiet minor roads.

Detailed instructions of the route will be provided which should be followed as marshalls will only be at the checkpoints and some critical road crossings. We cannot guarantee any markings we put out won't be removed or tampered with.

Although maps are not necessary to be able to complete the course, they provide a handy reference! Checkpoints and drink stations will be positioned around the course providing refreshments for all.

The event headquarters is Dunstable Town Football Club where ample car parking, registration, late entries, changing and showers will be available. Free refreshments consisting of a filled roll, cake and tea/coffee will also be available after the event.

Thanks Helen. In case anyone has a bad impression of me from the last message, it wasn't exactly that I didn't have a clue where we were going, more that it all looked different than I remembered...

Hi Mat

I can't reproduce the bug at the moment as I don't have access to FF in the office but I seem to recall that the error occurs when I need to add a race time that is not already listed in the race calendar. I don't think I can test it without entering some dummy result - and I don't want to do that as we don't have the ability to edit results once they have been submitted.

Thanks,

Maddy.

Hi all
Thanks Matt, I've just got back online so I can reply directly. As Matt said, we will be stopping for a drink and something to eat at the Eaton Oak. We should be there at about 12pm and it would be lovely to see as many of our old frinds as possible.
Hope to see you all there.
Mat, Jo and Tommy

Hi Neil and Maddy
I've just tested adding a race using Firefox with no problem. Can you be more specific as to at what point the error occurs and any error messages you get. What version of Firefox are you using?
Thanks
Mat

As quite a few of you will know, Mat Jo and Tommy Dowle are over from France at the moment. They are planning on passing through St Neots again this coming Saturday and stopping for lunch. They would love to be able to see as many people as possible so have asked me to spread the word. I am still waiting to hear from them about a time but if anyone is free this Saturday lunchtime and fancies seeing them, keep some time free. I'll properly confirm time and place as soon as I have spoken to them but it is likely to be the Eaton Oak.

PS. Sorry that this is another event at slightly short notice!
