It Didn't Take Long....

You should have received a plaque when you signed in to the event if you had your car there, Colin. As an entrant with a car there you didn't have to buy one. When I signed in at around 8.20am on the Tuesday morning I didn't get one as did the two people that signed in with me and some others I know of who signed in early on the Tuesday morning. At that time I didn't know there was a plaque. Later, on Wednesday, a friend who signed in on Tuesday afternoon showed me his plaque and told me that some, like me, had missed out. When we went to the Picnic on Thursday I, together with the two people I'd signed in with on Tuesday morning, went back to signing on which, at the time we went, was closed, to try and pick up our missed plaques. Signing on re-opend at 3pm on Thursday and we were there then. A very pleasant lady checked our names off against a list she had and confirmed we should have had our plaques and solved the problem there and then. I don't know if it's true but, later, is was explained that signing on was, originally, scheduled to open on the Tuesday at 10.00am but, due to the heat, opened early at 8.00am. Whilst I, and others, received an email on the Monday telling us this, I was told that the 'plaque handing out person' didn't get the memo and so didn't arrive until 10.00am. Notwithstanding that, Ruairidh's post above seems to indicate that if you were there, had a car there and missed out on your plaque it may be that the situation can be retreived. If you are in that situation, I'd suggest an email to him. He doesn't bite (well, not most of the time anyway!!)
