Anyone who held back from booking on this missed a really good day.
At very short notice, Focused Events loaned a team to MSV to allow it to happen so quickly.
There were only about 46 people ... so that shook down to 2 groups, with a session every 20 minutes !
Yes, completely knackering for everybody - but because the track was only running about the same number as a race - there were very, very few offs.

Well over half the people there had never ridden brands before !

To MSV - many thanks from all of us for organising the rescue.
To Focused Events - thank you for a very slick event. Several people have said they will put your events at the top of their lists.
To the cynics - count the numbers - it costs about 4k just to run the brands track let alone all the other costs - and there were only 46 @ £125 - but they still ran the event.
To ESS - that was the bit that counted - they picked up the pieces, let all the marshals know what was happening, told us what was happening, and ran the event.
(Some marshals had not heard - and had just booked their ferry for cartagena !)
