Numbers fall at alarming rate

I mentioned in the last post what a good job Steve Kelly does for Northern AC.

Ditto Paul Jackson for Manx Harriers.

Once again people waited until the event (Foxdale 6) was close to cancellation before coming forward to volunteer. In the end the marshalling was a credit to the sport.

But there were only 27 runners compared to an average of 47 for the last three years which in itself was well below the numbers in the peak years (more research another day).

The fixture list needs a radical overhaul.
