THE 2nd CANNOCK ROTARY 10km

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 20th 2011 : 11.00

A huge thank you to everybody who entered the 2011 Cannock Rotary 10km, with on the day entries taking us up to a final entry total of 262, an increase of 19% over 2010.

We are of course aware of problems encountered by finishers from 63.35 onwards as we ran out of goody bags. Just to confirm, we ordered 250 medals for this event, and given that we had 245 finishers this means that our planning was perfect and there were enough medals for everybody. 50 goody bags had been left in somebody's car boot (not ours we hasten to add) which were eventually discovered and brought over to the finish.

This does however now mean that we really have no idea which finishers had stayed to collect their goody bags, and which finishers left the area feeling extremely disgruntled and angry.  There were 31 finishers whose numbers were ticked by the funnel recorders as having received no goody bag, but from the goody bags we have left, it appears 13 of the 31 did eventually collect theirs on the day.  PLEASE HELP US as I want to ensure that EVERYBODY receives their hard earned medal & energy bar.

We KNOW that race numbers 510, 550, 590, 667, 736, 745 and 748 haven't had their goody bags ~ would anybody else who missed out on the day PLEASE e-mail us and confirm whether or not they received their goody bag before leaving yesterday.
