MHBP Launch party! (help needed)

Drew, you do have some things to do though...

• Can you put the bike shop list up here please, so that people that know the shops best and want to invite/ask for prizes etc can put there names next to them *everyone wait until invites are ready before you do though!
  

• Drew is map done? recce'd for warmth etc for checkpoint/challenge scorers?

• Drew, can you message me with your challenge ideas too please. Thanks :)

Earwig, sorry whats your real name?
I am in the process of arranging hopefully for a pro photographer to do the group shot, but it would be great if you can do it too as well as some documentary photography through the whole night if you want?

I'm happy with what I'm voluntold to do, so long as I can both polocat and race upon rollers.

Chris, Chan, team perusuaders in brown envelopes after the lights go out tomorrow...

Earwig = student Will

Also, ask if they've got any jobs going ^^

Yes!!!

I'm sure I can do something else too, just let me know. I would like to take part of both Polo Cat and Roller racing but understand that it's likely every does so don't mind missing one to help out on it (don't mind which one either).
