Organiser/Planner - John Allen jaysuk@btinternet.com

Thanks to all participants who turned up to partake in my Valentine’s night o’series event. The object was to plan a compact, enjoyable and technically correct course which I enjoyed designing and appreciated Chris Childs refining input. The start and finish was coincidentally chosen as my local pub ‘The Live & Let Live’ in Stanway. The immediate locality providing plenty of hydrants, some even had two plaques (smile) whereby some participants noted one while others noted the other - quite a novel approach which was not anticipated. Initially I had planned to include some on the London Road but for safety reasons these were excluded although I did include a couple near roundabouts to make the route more interesting and considered the risk manageable by using map notes and verbal comments. The route also included some off road sections including unlit areas where head torches came in useful. There were some newcomers who required a short induction talk. The weather was relatively mild without any rain so conditions were good. I had anticipated that fifty minutes would be a good time for the long course and several managed to complete within this. The short course was deliberately fairly straightforward although I did put in one particularly interesting route choice. This was my first time as a planner/organiser and I found the whole process quite challenging, slightly daunting but eventually satisfying and can now appreciate the time and effort that goes into these events.
