RBR 2007 Awards Presentation Dinner

The final landmark for the 2007 RBR was the Manor Hotel, Meriden.
Ale, food, more ale then the presentation of the awards, the biggest surprise was the presentation of the Cock-Up award to David Hancock (known to many as Dave the Disorganiser).
In the good cause of Air Ambulance fundraising, Graham Flint auctioned off some RBR shirts, then 2 memory sticks containing early release of the 2008 LM list. The night also gave some news of what was to come in the 2008 event, the number of landmarks has been increased to 100 (I'd guess there are now more counties with 2 LMs). Also, the rules have been ammended, the penalty points reduction for a mistaken landmark has been increased from minus 25% to minus 50% plus the points banding has been shifted higher. The all-rounder award now needs at least Platinum level points to qaulify. The start date was confirmed as GoodFriday...better get auNTy sorted then, MOT, Service, and a bit of a tart-up, maybe a new paintscheme if I find time.....
thanks to JJosey & Jack for the pics above
