Organiser

I hope everyone enjoyed Thieves Wood in perfect weather, and with little undergrowth -- one positive effect of all the previous bad weather. The helper-teams did their usual proficient job, and we all owe them our thanks. Especial thanks of course to the Controller and Planner, whose courses were praised by a large number of finishers, and criticised by none.

Planner

This was my third attempt at planning and I think �most people had a good run.

I think that 'Thieves' has� benifited from a reduced level of brambles since 2008 and I hoped to get people running off the�tracks which I think is important in the Nottingham forests.�

Although planning takes some time it is always rewarding and the feedback at the finish was generally positive, people seemed to have had a good time.

The weather was wonderful, although at�06:30hrs and �-5� when we started, putting controls out a was bit cold without gloves! �As always without helpers and a good controller planning can be tricky.�My helpers who both checked my controls tags and helped put controls out on the day were Liz Davies (an interloper from Aire) and David Winser, my thanks to them.�
