Tabletop Rally 14th August 2014

As a kick-off to the 2014/15 Winter Series we are organising a Tabletop Rally. This will be at The General's Arms, on Thursday 14th August starting at 8.30 pm. It is open to all, but only beginners, novices and experts (navigators) can earn points for the Winter Series.
Regs and entry forms will be posted on here in the next few days. The entire route will be on map 167. I will let you know which versions of the map you will need in the regs/finals.
As the lighting of The General's Arms is more suited to romantic dining than plotting on maps you may want to bring a head torch or a poti with a 12 volt power source.
Drivers will be needed to act as runners but the main work will be done by the navigators.
John Conboy is hoping to set up a Navigating Breakfast Encounter before the tabletop, and beginners might find this useful.
The first actual rally (i.e. a car is needed) of the Winter series will be the Priestley on 26th September.

Cheers

Paul Brewerton

Tabletop Entries

So far the response for entries is a little disappointing. This is in addition to the usual club night, so unless we reach a minimum of 5 entries the event will not run. This is the opening round of the 12 Car Winter Series and as such carries the same points value as the regular 12 car rallies. Final decision will be made at the committee meeting 7th August so get your entries in before that.

Ade and I are also unable to make 14th August. Any other Thursday would be okay for me.

Table Top entry

I'm happy to do it. Put me down as a driver or a navigator. A championship contender without regular driver/nav may wish to "claim" me.

Hi Paul, I would like to do it but I have something on the same night. Would it be possible to hold it on the Club night the following week?

Hi Paul, if you need to make

Hi Paul, if you need to make up numbers, I can probably make it - but likely to be on my own :-(

Tabletop Latest Entry list

We now have :

John Conboy/Jon Bray novice

Dave Thompson/TBA novice

Ellen Tilney/Colin Sutton novice

Mike Bishop/TBA novice

Jim Drake/Beth Drake beginner

Tony Hyatt/Ken Shields beginner

so the event will run as we have reached the minimum number. If any experts/masters are likely to enter please let me know so I can prepare some fiendish clues for you. Jim Bowie - Thanks for your offer above but I'd like to enlist your help in running the event on the night. The route has been checked on editions C2 underlined and C3. If you are using an earlier version see me before the start for additional information to make the clues work. Paul

Table Top Rally

Unfortunately I cannot make this due to work commitmemts, although I am currently looking into finances for the winter 12 car series as I'm always off Friday Nights.

Not sure about who'll Nav me yet, but I'm still a little way off from where I want to be with the car at the minute.

Yeah, thanks Paul also from

Yeah, thanks Paul also from me! It made a nice change from driving to have a play with the maps, found a few bits challenging and a few bits easy - more practice required I think!
