STATE LEAGUE 10

A previous post has all the pictures so here are a few words.
10.30am set up came and with it arrived a mass of Uringans. So much so that we could have begun setting up an hour later.
Toilet holes were dug, tents erected, result boards up and before you know it coffee was on. We had a few early runners out into the bush before the 1pm official start. the Jones's were taking care of the Junior Catering and setting up a very technical string course.
The event ran smoothly although there were some technical words being heard in the finish area when a printer didn't want to work. Cool heads and the right technical word and that was soon fixed. Quick thinking at the start averted a serious problem on the easy course when the si units were not quite in the right order. Two clicks in the computer fixed meant no one was mp'd.

I wonder if there is something about running an event and having issues on the course because a fair number of Uringans mp or dnf on the day.

It is interesting that 3 of the 4 who worked on the start did not complete their course.
By the way there were indeed some strange sights in the forest

Sarah caught a "NatalieusMillerusTigerus" by the tail!
