Thanks as always for all the support
Gerry doing registration and download; Myra for controlling.
Alexandra Park was the 3rd option for Dark Park 4 and I felt we had to do something a bit different. It has been suggested to me that we should pack a rucsac with bricks and try and slow Rudi down!
The good news is he is planning DP5 with Thomas and Ross covering admin / controlling respectively.
I had considered using a switch control but if the course order was consistent this would only register once and the SCORE format only registers a control once.
I feel the gaffled nature worked well and attached is a table showing who did what when. Rudi is trying to do something with Livelok but again that doesnt do SCORE format so lets see what he can do.
Final thanks to the fawns who unsolicitated organised the control collection which was much appreciated.
Regards
Terry
