Thanks to Harold Wyber for planning and to John Duffield, Russell Peters and Alan Brett for stepping in on the night to organise proceedings when the planner/organiser was unable to make the event due to late notice work commitments.

A big thanks also to the Troyganic Bar & Café for allowing us to use their downstairs room as race HQ – we will be back there again for next months race which ventures south of Hoxton Overground station.
