Feedback - Here's some of
the feedback we've received so far...
"Just a short note to say thanks for a really
enjoyable weekend in Keswick. The event was wonderfully well
organised, the atmosphere was terrific and I thought the spirit at
the awards ceremony summed up what a great weekend it was. Thanks a
lot for making us feel so welcome and congratulations again on an
event which enhanced Britain's reputation as organisers of world
class events."
"If anyone missed
this, you missed a fantastic day. Brilliant weather, tremendous
support from marshalls and spectators and a challenging but scenic
course."
"Congratulations, well done! Well organised and
all friendly and courteous."
"It was well marshalled and the results set up
was absolutely amazing. In all our 20+ years of running
we have never seen anything as efficient or quick."
"A huge thank-you to you and all your team
and helpers for such a fantastic day on Saturday, it really was a
day to remember and so superbly organised, and the other
competitors were so friendly."
