Thanks to the 25 officials who gave up their time to assist with a variety of duties, the 30 plus Marshals who remained at their posts until the last athlete was safely home and our members who served the tea and cakes in the refectory.

Special thanks to Katie Alexander of Achilles Heel for once again supporting the event and Julie and Gordon McGhee for the supply of cakes and buns.  We're also very grateful to Ron Hunter for creating a new spreadsheet which made recording of the results an easier and faster process.
