Steve, you are to be applauded for this initiative, there are scare mongers out there who would have you believe that a 'Waiver' is required for organised runs and the definition of organised seems very slack? I tried to organise a run some years ago to Beaulieu on Mogtalk and was telephoned by the then chair of MSCC and advised I needed said Waiver. I contacted MSA and they fell about laughing, thought I was joking and said surely the person who advised you is aware that the waivers are only available to registered clubs and not individuals. The whole thing stank of politics and control....of course it was only a coincidence that MSCC had one of their runs to the same place a week before my date, the fact they were charging a hefty fee to attend had nothing to do with it of course! The matter was resolved when several of us happened, purely by coincidence, to meet up at a motorway services, we have continued to have these coincidental meetings ever since.

All power to your elbow, I am only sorry I had to cry off last Sunday. My view is that it should be as loose as possible, a calendar of dates and venues would be really useful and I know a list of those likely to attend is helpful and often unlocks doors to access special parking and entrance fees. Maybe it's possible to look at listing dates and approx area's of meetings and specific details closer to the time, I always think these things are more about the people and don't really mind what the event is based around, coffee and a natter being the driver, pies are very welcome also ;-).

2016 is looking a whole lot brighter after your post, thanks again.
