It was a very well organised event! Great atmosphere, great course and a all around fun time. The 0.5 less of a rating was that the registration station had 3 lines but the signs were on the floor. Personally should of had them higher so everyone could see from the back and go in the right queues. Would also have A to L and M to Q and R to Z that way less people in the first queue that was A to M. Surname wise lots of Ms haha anyway amazing day!
