No probs Craig.

On another note, Andre, Tanya and Socrates won't be there (until later), so it'll me just Peter W and me running the thing. So any help with judging, timekeeping etc. will be gratefully accepted (I know you'd do this anyway, but I thought I'd just mention it) and there will be no tea and biscuits etc. until later as well.

If it's ok with you, me and Andrew Hibberd will be coming along, just to spectate. I plan to use Febuary half term to get my workshop set up again, and I need to re-ignite my passion to give me the motivation to get on with it ^^.

I'd also be happy to help out if you're shorthanded.

Looking forward to seeing you all tommorow :).

Thanks Simon and co for a great event!

Well done Dan for getting a award in everything lol :roll:

Also a big thank you to Scott and Andrew for getting r.i.p working and then fixing the broken motor.

Oh and well done to the other Jack ( :roll: ) and Matt at their first event.

It was good to have so many people and robots including quite a few new faces. I will try and get the results sorted out and posted today. Congratulations to Dan for what must have been an almost clean sweep.

Great event, and I finally win something, even though I sucked at the combat and got a bit bashed :P

Congrats to Dan for winning nearly the whole lot

and welcome to the new competitors, Matt and Jack E, great first event :)

Congratulations for all who won especially Dan for doing so well and Alasdair who had never driven before and won the football.
There appears to be a problem in the results of the Speedway. Terror Dactyl should have also appeared at the bottom of the chart so it and Stewie only got one run each in the qualifier round. It obviously didn't effect Stewie but sorry but to Jack Evans.
