We’ve only had entries open for two weeks and already have 208 runners enter. We could be sold out in two weeks’ time! So, if you haven’t entered, and you want to enter, get on with it. Details can be found on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Moyleman/ Or you can register here: https://www.sportsystems.co.uk/ss/event/TheMoylemanMarathon20182 We are also after Marshals. If you can’t run for whatever reason, but fancy a fun day out in the countryside, get in touch. There’s free beer and pizza!
Three Almerians have already entered. Felipe is going to do the full marathon and Antonio G and myself the Relay marathon.
We're looking forward to taking part in such a tough race and meeting old and new friends who are organising, helping or taking part in that fantastic event.

Well done Charlie, Sweder, All...
Yes please. i want to be a marshal. And I'd decided that before I got to the bit about beer and pizza -- honest.
Moyleman 2018 will be a corker. Aye, the old antennae are twitching, and that's quite unrelated to just seeing Emily Maitlis on Newsnight.
Er, where was I? Oh yes. Somewhere up north, near Lewes. I am hereby officially 'getting in touch'. What's next? How do I claim expenses? Do I have to fly Economy? Bah. Cheapskates. But worth the sacrifice, I suppose. Tell me what to do.

Great things are done when men and mountains meet.

The only thing that needs to happen in the short-term is the putting of your name on a list. I will pass your details over to our esteemed chief of marshals, the Godfather himself, Mr Tom Roper. Nearer the date itself we will allocate you your marshal responsibility. As a newbie to the Moyleman, perhaps responsibility to clean the toilets once the runners have left the building would be a suitable job for a man of your calibre. Or alternatively, we can place you out on the Downs somewhere.
Decisions, decisions. A Moyleman committee meeting beckons... we have decisions to make... and beer to consume.

Last year we capped at 300. On the day approx. 40 people didn't turn up. This morning we're at 251. We didn't hit that until January the last time around.
You will need to hurry up if you're going to enter... ... ...
Gonna need a bigger boat... I ask, because this year the luggage transit was rammed, this is before the relay bags were added.
Just saying that if there will potentially be 90 more bags T'Committee may need a budget for 2 transits...or I could probably borrow a Luton although that won't fit under the banner at the finish.

I'll put it on the list of things we need to discuss... it's a long list. It starts with: whose round is it. And it's not mine.
There are a few from these hallowed pages who are heading south to either run, or gawp at runners, on the 18th March. It crossed the minds of those of us who organise the event, that it might be nice to arrange a little dinner, and a few beers come the evening of the 18th. If you're interested, let me know, and we can see what can be done.
CC5 can you advise re baggage vee-hickle(s) as this is now just 7 weeks away. I have the offer of a luton van but need to book it if that's the way you want to go. I have Dave Hayes (Sweder knows him) to help me on the day so we could do 2 transits instead.

The three Almerians would love to attend the dinner and have a few beers with all of you, C. Thank you very much for such a brilliant idea.
Hey CC5. If you could stop swanning off on holiday and answer my post of 17 November above, [edit: and 29 January] that would be good. Less than 4 weeks to go.

Aha. I chatted to the big man about this and he said he'll get in touch. I assume therefore he hasn't. I'll remove his access to chilled IPAs until he does.

Shirley, its the role of the Head Honcho to do exactly that... take the credit for the good bits, and blame the underlings for all that goes wrong. Have you not been to management school?
And anyway, as I'm leaving these shores shortly for another week, I need to delegate to others...

Now then, now then ...
Pretty sure I responded to this. Might have been on Fleecebook, Twatter, Instagurn or WhatsUpp, or sone other fiendish interweb device. In short, yes, two vehicles will be needed. Inevitably exclusively to manage up to 50 first half relay runners at Southease, the other for +200 full at the Finish.
The finish truck needs to be in the yard by 12.15 latest
We are building a finishing funnel to direct runners across the line & into the repatriation area.
Please go ahead & commandeer a second vehicle. We can talk remuneration once I get back from Canada
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
