So the poor little lambs have only one phone line and a funny french jack and no dongle - so its not their fault then ? Or should they do a little pre-planning beforehand for all those $20,000 sponsorship moneys and all those $1000 charges to 'professionals', not to mention all the new charges for everybody entering ? I suppose its not their fault that they had no boards and pieces two days beforehand, or that the equipment supplier screwed up with the 233's ? Or that spectators turning up are going to find it hard to get in ? Or that the icca web site still suggests that the last day is next Monday, when in fact it packs up midday Sunday ? Ever heard of being accident prone ? This is what happens when organisers are (a) no longer in touch with events, and (b) not really very interested anyway. Chris Whittington
