Message from PBB about today's event 10/1/2016

Hello to all Clubs attending the race at the park today. We marked the course out today and found that there will be some areas of very muddy ground that I have never experienced before!! Having said that, it's located at the far end of the course on a short up hill section. Obviously things will deteriorate underfoot as the race progresses but I believe that our course would be the only one of all the league courses where a race could go ahead after the amount of rain we have had over the last weeks To counter the conditions as they are I have altered the Start location to the far end of the grass area just before where you would cross the road on previous races, this will allow the field a long section of parkland before they pass the Visitors Centre on their left. this will be more straight forward and dispense with the need for the U turn that I originally planed. The finish will also be re located to nearer the start. In short you will have to allow yourselves more time to get to the start. I would suggest you use the tarmac paths to get there. I will make the pre race briefing as short as possible so that you can get under way. There is a possibility that if the weather is really bad at the time of race start that as the promoting club we would consider shortening the race to 3 laps for men and 2 laps for ladies! We will make every effort to ensure that this fixture goes ahead. Thank you all for your patience and understanding at the end of the day our club and league management have the interests of its members at heart.
