Message from Terry Gardiner

I would just like to thank EVERYBODY that gave their time this morning and helped to make this one of the most successful Gin Pit 5 races that we have staged.
It is not a one man show, and without the dedicated and willing volunteers we couldn't possibly manage. 
So, it is a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all the marshalls, car parking officials, kitchen staff, timekeepers, course cyclist, water attendant, registration staff, medal presenters, course signage and setter uppers?, announcer.

Also,a big thank you to Gary for coming off his sick bed to help out with registration and prizes.

Hopefully I havent missed anybody off.

Apart from being asked by the local constabulary to step outside and explain what was going on regarding the parking, it all went off pretty well.

Onwards and upwards for the next races - lets make sure that we carry on the excellent work and host the best races in the North West.

Thank you
Terry

Many thanks to our friends at A&T for a GREAT event this morning. The apparent ease with which you continue to put on such successfull events belies the fantastic amount of hard work that we know goes in before and on the the day to make such a good event. Thanks very much from all at Swinton RC.

Whilst I don't doubt your "apparent ease" at being able to organise the Gin Pit 5, I, as a resident of Gin Pit Village, would very much appreciate a more courteous attitude from your so called car park attendants, and also I would ask you to be more thoughtful when parking. Not only is it ver inconvenient not being able to leave the village because of dangerous and inconsiderate parking, it would be impossible for any emergency services to access us if needs be. I suggest a police presence would be essential for your next race, just as the Gin Pit Residents' association do for their events.

Thank you.
