24hr event in MK (Recumbent friendly)

Please could you point me in the direction to who I should send a proposal to.

 

All that is done so far is to book the venue. I have kept quiet, thinking that BHPC would get back to me on whether it is to be run as one of their events. I have been thinking about asking, but having checked the events and seein nothing there, I assumed that the 2012 season hasn't been decided yet.

 

The planning of the event still has to be done. I do need to join BHPC and ride some events so that I have a better idea of how BHPC events are done and learning from other riders and organisers.

 

I'm aiming to run this event with as little need for help as possible. Unless there things behind the scenes that I don't know about, it will be a matter of placing facilities in the circuit for food, timing, water and toilets.

 

 

If BHPC refuse it as an event, then it isn't definitely the end as I'd consider running a guerilla event. 

I believe the BHPC race calendar is pretty much complete for 2012 now - I know that Adrian has been doing a lot of work on it over the last few weeks...

One option may be to run it as a BHPC event without being part of the championship.

At the end of the day if it's a BHPC event then the BHPC committee will be responsible for it - As we haven't run a 24 hour race before (to my knowledge?) we would have to be confident that it is going to be well organised before taking it on.

 

 

One thing that will definitely need considering for a 24 hour event is camping arrangements - From past experience with WC2008 it's do-able but somebody needs to make sure stuff gets done... Things such as mking sure that if people are going to camp on site that you have the appropriate licence from the local authority... That will probably mean a visit from somebody to look at facilities, potential fire hazards, spacing between tents etc...

 

Again from past experience it is likely to take time and would need looking at pretty quickly...
