THE WILL RAMSBOTHAM BADGERSTONE RELAYS 2016
I anticipate that the Meteorological Office will start to incorporate the WRBR timetable into its models of the weather… the sun always seems to shine on the event. Once again, we had perfect racing weather and - once again - we had a wonderful field of athletes who were accommodating of my organisational errors and who generated a brilliant atmosphere… a wonderful night o’t moor.
The sun always shines and the volunteers always do a brilliant job - the races wouldn’t happen without wonderful support from numerous individuals, so massive THANKS to:
BoffWhalley for keeping the memory of Will alive (and his great story about Will treating attendance at a gig as a training session – what Boff didn’t say was that the gigs were those of Chumbawamba and he was the lead guitarist… anyone too young to remember Chumbawamba should check them out as a matter of urgency…)
Anne Buckley forgeneral assistance
Graham Weston for photography and support
Anne Buckley, Bernie Gibbons, Lucy Needham, Ruaridhand Rebecca Mon-Williams for scanning finishers
AND TWO FOLK (one with Lucy) whose names I didn’t catch but who kindly helped us scan the finishers
Rebecca Mon-W and Val Kerr for registration and finish duties
A great team of marshals: Paul Carman, Alison Bennett, Paul Stephenson, Christine Reilly, Lizzie Reilly, Val Kerr, Lawrence Basham, Nick Pearce and Martin Archer
OutiKamarainen and Dan Wilkinson for offering general support
Rob King for first aid cover (not needed)and marshalling (much needed)
White Wells café for their support of the event
And ONCE AGAIN absolutely enormous thanks to Triss Kenny for implementing the electronic timing system.
I think the two different finishes for the 1m and 2m relay was a good change – but it did mean that we had a couple of folk who didn’t go through the funnel… which played havoc with the results! This meant that Triss had to go through the backup results (photos with times) by hand… so we need to make sure that every finisher goes through the funnel next year…
Finally, thanks to all runners for supporting the event – please do return next year for another beautiful evening of racing over Ilkley moor.
I think Boff was absolutely right went he said that it would be easy to start forgetting Will after such a long time following his death. It’s fantastic that this event helps keeps Will’s memory alive in such a meaningful way.
Thanks again to everyone – I look forward to seeing everyone again next year.
