    Festival Preview live chat night, Sunday 11th March

    I'll be opening the chat room on Sunday evening for people to use the live chat like we have for previous years.
    A slight difference is that I'm unlikely to be here, so I may have to activate the chat room early, around 6.30, but I will try to leave it as late as possible.
    I would suggest we set a start time of say 8.00 (seems to have been most popular in previous years) and whatever time we pick the discussion doesn't start until then. Otherwise people are going to be popping in and out and missing each other.

    Quick rundown of how to use it

    You need to be logged in

    Mobile skin, you need to change to desktop view, scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'full version' and you will get the desktop version of the site. If you are on a phone and you have a pc, laptop or tablet i would suggest switching to one of those as its easier to view.

    Desktop/Laptop should work straight out the box as it were.

    Anything goes in there within reason, usual forum rules apply and try to keep any disagreements civil please. The chat log will be posted as a thread at some point, depending on how long it goes on for, it takes a couple of hours to format usually, so if its still going at midnight like the last couple of years, I won't be doing it the same night

    Mothers day today and I expect a few will struggle to log in for this.

    Preview was good, Colin. Hopefully you find some way of saving it for the archives.

    Apologies to anyone who thought this went a bit rapid, but was keen to get as many races covered as possible.

    A thoroughly enjoyable lark.

    I will do it tomorrow at some point, thanks to everyone who took part, hope you enjoyed it.

    I have to manually copy and paste and format it, then split it down into different posts (as is too long for one) so takes a couple of hours usually to get it posted, but I will get it done, even if its tomorrow evening.

    Take your time, Col. If people are doing it right, they'll be too wankered to read, for the next 72 hours.
