NEW vets category: 50 and over.  25 problems . You will be a vet if you are 46 or over on  the 6th Feb 2016

does this mean there is a 46 to 49 category and also an over 50s category ? or have I or the web page made a mistake?

[The Foundry]

Mistake now corrected on the webpage! - have to be 50 or over on the day of event.

Which other old gits might enter ?
Just assessing my chance of a top 100 place in the vets category

[lagerstarfish]

having been on plastic a few times recently, I am quite tempted (but not mature enough to be a vet)

I don't think Dolly qualifies as being particularly mature 

[GraemeA]

How old is Ben?

[duncan]

How old is Ben?

He'll be 4 months short of the big 5-Oh. Get your applications in now vets., you've no chance next year. 

[T_B]

How old is John Welford? He's been training again post knee injury.

Yep dead right

[Dolly]

Pretty sure he's over 50. I might need to discourage him from entering as he's looking pretty beast like

Sorry I didn't read that properly

[The Foundry]

Gentlemen/old gits - Mr Welford is not entering, Ben is under 50, so no excsuses.

[lagerstarfish]

I recon Ben might chicken out when he finds out that I've entered

[lagerstarfish]

do we pick up our vests on the day?

[shark]

I've entered

OK. I'm in

[lagerstarfish]

so it's me and Ben fighting it out for the extended seniors group title; and Shark and Dolly battling for the new advanced vets title

is this going to be on Sky Sports or did Channel 4 get a look in?

[shark]

Appearing on Dave at xmas They didn't say which one

[tomtom]

Appearing on Dave at xmas They didn't say which one

Dave Thomas?

Dave Thomas?

Yeah DT strips off his top and it gets projected onto his torso. he is told not to speak for the duration 

[Mumra]

 

I've entered

OK. I'm in

[lagerstarfish]

I do hope we get some proper angry power-shouting from Shark

[rich d]

Hopefully one of the problems will be a replica of the crux of the oak.....

[Fiend]

It would be a bit cruel to handicap Shark like that tho
