Stuart Wilson Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Our entry went in the post yesterday afternoon. Someone suggested on the facebook page that we should paint the car red and yellow and do the event dressed as Noddy and Big Ears. We'll not be, as i think I'll look silly enough squeezed in to the Moss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRJAMES Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I posted my entry on Monday 18th. I didn't realise that places filled up so quickly.Why is there a limit to the number of entrants? Is it dictated by the spaces available in the Pub Car Park or are there laws in place limiting the size of club rallies?Fingers crossed.

ferny Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Number of spaces at the pub and the control stops. Some only work as well as they do because the field spreads out reducing the ammount of cars landing at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 TRJames,Two limits:A) As Pete states, physical size of the establishments that we visit. But the biggest factor being that the two breakfast establishments at JOG and LE cannot cope with more than 250no people.B) Organisation: 115no starters is the approximate max that we have had and it was difficult to keep control. Jason Chinn runs the Entry Admin and its the most difficult aspect of the event as he has to keep track of all entry revisions: Car and crew changes as well as address, phone and email changes, this job becomes fraught the closer we get to the RBRR weekend.C) The event is blessed with unique camaraderie and too many entries could undermine that. During the weekend there is a definite feeling of unity amongst the crews, all helping each other when issues develop.Please note that everyone who has ever wished to do the event has always done the event!Its a great event and one that most seem to enjoy.
