Parking will be via Gate 2 at the Stadium. Stewards will direct parking from there. Please do NOT try to access the stadium via Rowsley Street as no parking will be available and you will be directed back to Gate 2.

If anybody requires lifts, or can offer car shares, please post here. Also, if there are any special requests for leg preference, again, post below.

Many thanks, Andy

Andy I don't have transport and can get to the sports centre and share costs with anyone who can help out, cheers Simon B

Simon, I can give you a lift, and anyone else who needs lift from around the sports centre area

I have comfortable space for two or cramped space for three. I will be able to meet at Garston.

Meeting and departure times TBC.

Can I do one of the early legs. It is Mrs Macklin's birthday weekend and the dog house is starting to get a little uncomfortable in the dog house

I've got a 5 seater so can take 4 probably 5 if anyone wants to curl up in the boot

Gents,

I am looking for a favour, well two in fact.

One of our teams for the relays on Saturday will be two men short and therefore incomplete. The team will show on the official results as Incomplete but all times and positions will be recorded.

This incomplete team currently has to fantastic athletes in it, Barry Bright and myself.

What I would like to happen is for two wonderful sould to put their hand up and say "put me in that team!".

So, if you are maybe carrying a niggle, not 100%, returning to the form of the glory days, wanting to save some leg power for another event...then I wonder if this is something that would turn out to be a benefit.

I will make a random (blind) selection if I have to so nobody needs to feel as if their worth isn't fully appreciated.

Help me if you can. X

I could do with a lift and can meet at the sports centre. I haven't done much training recently so I can go in the incomplete team.

Here is link to a map showing where gate 2 is.

Cheers Mike what time at the sports centre mate
