<Mod hat firmly on>

I'm affriad that some people on here are all to quick to jump in and take over. Going Underground - did you ever get a response to your post? It appears not. Did you post that you had actually booked the room - it appears not. Out of courtesy if nothing else you could have emailed Geoff direct, sent a Private Message.

If Geoff had wanted help, he would have asked for it I'm sure. May I remind everyone that it was Geoff who basically devised and organised the first Zone 1 challenge some 6 years ago.

I can understand Geoff being p***ed off. This forum is now more about egos and less about tube challenging than ever.

<Mod hat off>

Moley being a 3 time Guinness world record holder and a admirer of Geoff through his TV exploits and last years organiser.I sympathise with the organisational efforts of a zone 1 challenge its a pain in the arse 1 thing i did do was plan well in advance Horse & groom was booked in Feb and Sam and Matt graciously (thank u) decide to go there and get everybody times last year.

The timing of his departure has kicked up a few problems but hopefully Tangy can resolve these I know my last effort was disjointed but i hope very enjoyable by all parties involved last year.I hope this year can have the most involved perhaps.?

[Sam]

You're welcome. I felt the day was enjoyable despite not being able to take part and it all ran well without a certain person being there so no reason why this year should be any different

I dont mind helping Just let me know what you want me to do and I'll do my best to do it!

[tangy]

So its me then...I will be helped on on the day (at the meet/start) by Laxmeesh.

In order for everyone to get prepare, here are some pointers that have already been sorted:

1. Meet up from 1130 (may NOT be OXC, am looking at a number of different meet up stations before choosing the best one).
--During this time you will decide who you wish to partner and you will get your official "team entry card" for your team name, members and finishing time (There will be a best team name prize, so the wittier the better). A photo of your team (once assembled) will be taken.

2. Tubeguru will then draw the starting station between 1200 and 1215 (but no later) from a suitably decorated cloth bag. Youw ill tehn make your way to that station and start planning for a start as near to 1300 as possible.

3. 1300, the challenge begins and once finished head back to the Horse and Groom (128 Great Portland Street for those who need a map finding it) and hand your team entry card to Tubeguru who will organise the results.

The Z1 challenge ship is now firmly back on course. Let the mayhem begin....

Tangy, obviously its your decision and all that, but may I recommend meeting at OXC purely because literally everyone (or almost everyoe) knows where exactly to meet due to it being the meeting place for the previous events? By all means feel free to choose where ever you like, thats only my thoughts on it.

Expressions of Interest

Your expressions of interest for this challenge can be made by emailing me (or via the frorum PM system), all contact details can be found on my profile. Please respond with "Z1 2010" as the title.

It is advisable to email/PM me (rather than just turn up on the day) so I know who I am expecting or not, if you are unsure of your attendance please state this on your expression of interest to me.

Formal invitations (with the finalised meeting place) will be sent out about a week in advance of the even to those who I have recieved expressions from.

Thanks
Tangy

I suggest Tangy starts a new thread with the registration details so they will be easier to find.

[tangy]

It seems that thought has worked its way dowbn the 34 route, as I had similar ideas.

For discussion about the Zone 1 2010 event with me as organiser, please see/use the other thread started by myself.

Thanks
