I'm aware of the diary clash, but believe events starting from London can attract a sizable number of people that wouldn't necessarily do any other others. Just need to get on and promote it now. The calendar is so packed with rides, seems impossible not to conflict with something - it's hard enough avoiding all the other ACH events.
Hillbilly, I tried to differentiate the route more but the nature of the requirements for quiet, direct roads between controls tends to force you onto certain well-used sections, unless you start getting carried away with info controls. However the idea to go to Seaford (as with GMC) is totally based on a suggestion by you, so feel free to claim a free entry for either event
Surely you could ECE it up to a 300, or does that not count for your rules?
JSabine, I think we will be ok with tea pouring - the left shark can do that I believe.
