25th sounds promising then, so unless anybody wants it in October should i go ahead and book it?
sign ups should be open soon too.

It's a normal event, it's not the team championships, the team championships was Dave's event that I think he's looking to run at Snibston now...

I'll sign up as soon as I know what I'm taking ^^

Hi Henry,
As i mentioned earlier this is NOT the ATC event. This RFRC is the normal format for our events, there was a point where i was considering making RFRC 4 into a ATC style event but after Dave said he could do one after all i decided to just stick with the current format. The four "mini events" we usually do at any RFRC are: Assault course, Deathball (football with obstacles), Non-Spinner and finally Full Combat (Spinners allowed). We also run a small Flea event if we have time. After last year I'm thinking about dropping Deathball and either bringing in a new event, or only running the other three so we have more time (We usually either run over our time slot or push it right up until the last minute :P)
I seem to remember Jonny saying a while back that we should run a annihilator, So perhaps that's what i will bring in to replace Deathball. Or perhaps a Tag team event/Fleas? what do you guys think?
Oh and before i forget any Trophy winners from RFRC 3 need to bring them back to defend them! (if you cant make it PM me) I don't have the winners list in front of me ATM but i seem to remember Dan Townend winning quite a few?

Just out of interest do you ever sleep?

I was looking for some tools yesterday and found a box of all sorts of things, did I return the trophy from ages ago?

No, no i don't :P
Like i said earlier im not exactly sure who has which trophy, must be my old age! :roll: .
I do seem to remember Dan winning a few and you getting another (i think) so if you could have a quick check that would be great! any chance of you making it down for the event?
