Anyone tracking the 2002 race calendar will notice that it's gradually beginning to fill up. We now have the first batch of sheets from the BTA as well as all the emailed details from organisers and the data is being pumped in but it does take time so please keep checking. Over Christmas we will be adding an additional field to the database that gives the location of the event (which is sometimes not obvious from the name) and some "potted" search buttons as well. If organisers spot mistakes please let us know - you don't all have perfect handwriting!

Why don't we use the BTA's database? Anyone who attended the AGM will probably know the answer to that one -- it can't output the fields we need to build the file and actually takes longer than checking the 2002 sheets against the database we have built up over the past three years. That's why the BTA website uses our race calendar...

The BTA have asked that all organisers and club secretaries please get their forms in by December 20th so the information can go in the Handbook. Several people have sent forms in without signing them - it's on the back!!
