Cheers Bill I may have misinterpreted your message - as Gordon says it's good to talk and a bit of continued banter might help us arrive at an idea that everyone is in agreement with.
Trouble is I don't know what to say next
several members have submitted ideas covering xc, accuracy, height, duration comps, xc training, annual fixed date, mixed ability event etc. but there is no real group focus emerging.
It crossed my mind to set up an online survey monkey process for Nhpc members only to vote on all the options. It's free, anonymous and a pretty simple thing to do but the format of questions and options need to cover all angles. There is also a comments option for further ideas and member comments.
I'm prepared to give a draft survey a shot to see how it goes and what type of initial responses we get. We could then refine the survey to focus on initial outcomes which can be made available online for all to see. Survey monkey is a pretty nifty tool.
This thread would probably need moving into the members only area of the website. I'd try and include all the above suggestions and any more ideas that people want considered. I can't promise it'll be perfect but it could be a way of gauging majority opinion and following a moreorless democratic process where everyone has a say.
If I get the heads up to give it a go- I will - but any support most welcome.
