Right then…
Financially we’re well into the black and have been since week3, which is nice, so all entries are now contributing to the charity pot (kiddies playground equipment) with perhaps a bit more being spent on pyrotechnics to make the Hill Of Despair even more horrific.
The rogues gallery of STW “personalities” is growing, so for an extra fee we will move the explosives closer to the racing line*.
We’ve got some big sponsors too, which is also nice, and we’ll be announcing those once we’ve crossed all the “I”s and dropped all the “E”s. Hopefully we’ll have some fancy demo bikes for you to play with. Uncle Joe’s are back, so all survivors finishers will receive a firm handshake and a mint ball.
The after race party is also on at the local pub were you can drink real ale and eat Bombay Mix whilst watching some of the grumpiest bar staff in all of Christendom going about their business in a breathtakingly rude manner.
So, sign up now and get it out of the way. We expect this thing to sell out as all the other winter ones have. But, if we can do it before Christmas it means that we don’t have to spend the holidays looking at website analytics and entry stats and get on with the serious business of eating too much cheese and playing with the kids.
Ditherers will be disappointed.
*Explosions are subject to the council letting us do it. There isn’t a section on the Public Spaces Usage Application Form marked “Do you want to blow shit up Yes/No?” So I suspect that additional hoops will need to be jumped through once they have decided on the quantity, diameter and height of said jumping hoops.
