Organiser's Comments - John McKendrick
Many thanks for your support & to all the STAG members, NLC Leisure Staff especially Hannah) & friends who made my day so straight forward. The wee hiccup with Robin Strain's car just goes to reinforce that some form of back-up system is a necessity.

Controller's Report - Terry O'Brien
My apologies for not discovering the printing error before the event. The Blue Course had 2 parts but on some maps Part 1 had been replaced by a Master Controls Map. Thankfully Arnis used some lateral thinking & was able to improvise & save the day. I had checked the quantities & flicked through the maps but a lesson learned.
Having planned the 3rd Leg of the 20th GPC back in December I had no fears about Arnis' planning. He decided that he wanted to create 2 'pits' & these were dug out on Saturday 9th & their size was dictated by the rock bed we discovered.
