I think that the organising skills and
endurance of Bob B and Bob C deserve a special mention.
Not only did they help at the start/finish, support the solo/relay
runners, somehow they found the time to be in the right place to run
a stage in the relays. Well done.
Thanks
- There are a lot of people who contributed
to this event and hopefully I have not missed anyone out. Please
accept my apologies if I have.
- Coventry's Lord Mayor, Maggie Rosher, and
Consort, for attending the event, warmly greeting everybody and
staying overtime to greet the first lady to complete the course.
- Midland Reprographics for
photocopying the main bulk of the information pack
- W H Sharpe (Printers) for printing the
information leaflet.
- The Phoneshop Earlsdon Chris Bowes for
lending us a mobile phone for the day.
- Ted Stocker for clearing the path and
allowing me to signpost a way through the copse.

fences at short notice.
