I have just booked myself onto the British Airways Heathrow flight to Prague as featured in the previous post. I have also hired a small car with four doors and a tiny boot. If anyone wants to share the car to Hradec Kralove then do sing out. I need a good navigator!Sam

We have had to pay for the camping in advance, so folks are encouraged to use the facility.[b:ph3ad3z7]Hotels:[/b:ph3ad3z7]Alternative accommodation for those who prefer not to camp: [url:ph3ad3z7]http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=travelodge&sll=51.58107,0.175438&sspn=0.037495,0.076818&gl=uk&ie=UTF8&radius=1.98&split=1&rq=1&ev=zi&hq=travelodge&hnear=&ll=51.585923,0.168743&spn=0.037491,0.076818&z=14[/url:ph3ad3z7]Travelodge Romford Central and Peterborough Eye Green - [url:ph3ad3z7]http://www.travelodge.co.uk/[/url:ph3ad3z7][b:ph3ad3z7]Food:[/b:ph3ad3z7]While there is an on site canteen at Hog Hill, it is also recommended that you bring your own food for the duration of the weekend, especially if camping. Limited supplies of very good meat are available at Lambourne End camp site.There is a large Sainsburys supermarket on the other side of Fairlop tube station in Barkingside.[b:ph3ad3z7]Freeride:[/b:ph3ad3z7] The track will be open for freeride on the back hills from 12:30pm on Friday and all day Saturday. The Giant Slalom will be run on the main downhill run on Sunday, so freeride will not be possible. Loose-truck speed-merchants, however are encouraged to give the GS a go.[b:ph3ad3z7]Kids Race:[/b:ph3ad3z7] will be run on Saturday afternoon following the hybrid. If the Hybrid is overunning then the Kids race will take place after the GS on Sunday.[b:ph3ad3z7]Dual & GS Slalom:[/b:ph3ad3z7] Setup for the Hybrid Dual Slalom - Friday will start at 12:00 noon. This will include the putting up of ramps, course setting and laying down of timing gear. Open practice will be run from 1:00pm (earlier if possible) with qualifying starting at 1:30pm. Qualifying will be the best time of two runs, one run in each lane. Starting for qualifying will be individually timed, but in order to keep up the racing impetus, racers are requested to go within ten seconds of being permitted on course, with parallel qualifying preferred (ie: racers going together ASAP). Time and numbers (and weather) permitting, there will then be bracketing into two groups of 16, A and B Groups. If there are any delays then a single bracket of top 16 will be arranged.<br><br>Starting in the heats will then be via the standard European system of 'five second warning, ' where, once racers are ready, a start will ensue at any point within the next five seconds. Anyone DEEMED to be jumping the start will be given just one verbal warning before being given the DQ penalty of 10per cent of the fastest qualifying time. Cone penalty will be 0.1 seconds per cone. If a cone is hit and remains either touching or in part of its circle then it is not to be counted as a penalty. If a cone is out of place on your run, then pull out of the course and raise your hand immediately. If cones are knocked out in front of you by the opposition's cones then do likewise. A rerun will occur. If these rules are deemed to be abused, then the organiser's delegated referee decision will be final. Even if wrong.Please can competitors cone-marshall on their way back up the hill to the start. There will be four posts dividing sections of the course. Move up one position after each race. Please offer to cone-marshall even if you have been knocked out of the competition. The heats go through very quickly as the final approached and accurate marshalling is critical.[b:ph3ad3z7]GS - Sunday:[/b:ph3ad3z7] We have the track from 9:00am onwards on Sunday, so setup of the course will begin then, using the hill that backs onto the hybrid course. It will consist of a single lane timed run with start ramp. Each racer will have three runs (time permitting) with the best of these runs counting as final time. A Top Gear style leader board will show the best riders and times to beat. Again, it is preferred that a competitor goes within ten seconds of the course being open to them, choosing within that slot the best start moment given prevailing conditions.Again, it is requested that competitors assist in cone-marshalling on their return up the course.[b:ph3ad3z7]Mandatory:[/b:ph3ad3z7] all riders must wear a helmet when on the track. No helmet, no riding.Let's get rolling!Sign Up: http://67.139.161.195/contest_registrat ... 466#signup

Hi Nick,The provisional registration in the clubhouse is set for 10:00am, so it would be great if the centre could be open at around 9:00am. Skaters are not the best time-keeping bunch, and there is an urban myth that nothing involving the fraternity will ever take place before mid-day. Until tomorrow!Sam

Hi Dominic, thank you for the offer of a monitor. At this point in time it may not be required, so don't bring one along. At a push, Mick Reiss might have one available that we can use. In reality it is looking like we might be manning the white boards for scoring!Appreciater the help and offer,Sam

(chortle)Camping will be away from the main public campsites in the separate competitor area.The layout of the site is slightly different this year and the competitor site is in a different area as usual Access will be limited to those wearing competitor wristbands (issued on signing into the showground) and will have 24-hour security. Note: you will not be able to take your car into the campsite.Relentless, one of the main sponsors will be providing an "Athletes Lounge", access to this area is restricted and access will be by "Competitor" wristband only.

Oops; typo!It is handy to have a secondary view of the results for the competitors. All too often the timer is questioned as to what's going on, so is distracted from inputting the results. A second monitor allows folks to see how they are doing during the event.The monitor offer is very kind!Sam
