Was a great night again. That was my 4th run now and for once I seemed to always have a scoob in front and behind! I still love the noise through Rotherhithe, it is worth going just for that!
Thanks to everyone for donating on the way in, my daughter Charlotte was kept busy sorting the notes from the coins, I hope we have managed to raise another good total for the EAA!
Roll on next year!

Charlotte done a great job
Thought it was good that everyone donated to such a worthy cause

As for the noise it was simply awesome.
Nate, although I heard the horn at Snetterton it was another thing to hear in a tunnel

What a headache I've got - you noisy lot

Thanks to everyone for coming along. It still amazes me to see so many people come along particularly with the distance you travel.

Without you attending it would be pointless. THANK YOU

Donations were all greatly received, even the guitar plectrum will come in handy

Even more importantly thanyou to all the regional organisers, specifically Budgie, the MSOC organiser, for helping shepherd everyone along the A2

Wazo, what can I say? You need a long sleeved shirt or you'll die your death of a cold

B4D HK did a brilliant job of rounding up the Birmingham crew a(nd setting up their own club). It won't be long before we get 200 cars circulating the Bull Ring I'm sure

BUT.......BUT none of this would have been possible without my fellow Tunnel Run Committee members.

Bri4n for major help and assistance, specifically liasing with the start point

ScoobyMaz (and Charlotte) for speaking to McDonalds, Dartford Crossing AND the incredibly helpful charity collections at the gate. Brilliant job

Wozzaa - what a star. Designer of the stickers and shirts. Stood in the cold all night selling merchandise - you haven't heard the last from him everyone

Thanks also to MrShades who designed the promo photo and a sticker design. Much MUCH appreciated

Also thanks to Nate for helping out with the TomTom files and setting up a facebook group when I couldn't cope with my PM's

Finally, thanks for the 2 people who showed true ESC spirit. Kin Quick and Pinseeker. Neither were on the committee but both willingly agreed to help out with the charity bucket


Oh and MNeame who dragged people kicking and screaming to the merchandise stand, and when they wouldn't he went to them with armfulls of shirts and stickers














Thanks..
