I'm looking forward to helping the timekeeping team on this day of exhibitionistl mad driving. Timekeepers have as much fun as the "entrants" without having to wash/repair/transport to the skips their pride and joy afterwards. I commend timekeeping duties to anyone otherwise looking for something to do on Boxing Day. Timekeepers do a lot of walking (as well as leaping out of the way of errant vehicles/wheelspin clods/fake Santas) so stout footwear, thermal drawers and windproof waterproofs are recommended. Bring a decent packed lunch as the laid-on facilities are somewhat lacking. Also, restrict your liquid intake for a couple of days before the event as the bramble hedgerows provide scant cover. Hopefully this year the Guardian of the Stopwatches won't forget to bring a fully charged selection, as phones and tablets aren't as handy! CU all there!
