DeeGee Jun 2013 8:28am, 10 Jun 2013 14,436 posts	0 DeeGee This is Tunbridge Wells we're talking about, though. Normally there's no way ever anyone in that town would dare cheapen themselves by talking to someone else. Let alone someone wearing a hoody.

Old Croc Mar 2015 2:06pm, 19 Mar 2015 25,568 posts	0 Old Croc Right, a quick wee straw poll. Cheap race fee, no medal, no memento etc (£6 registered /£8 non reg for a 10k) or mid price, cheap medal (£8/10) or higher price, nice bling (£10 / 12 upwards) Any preferences??

Old Croc Mar 2015 2:12pm, 19 Mar 2015 25,570 posts	0 Old Croc Trying to keep entry fee low to be honest. £10 would be a massive leap up.
Pebbs Mar 2015 2:13pm, 19 Mar 2015 90 posts	0 Pebbs I prefer medals most of all, there's always a twinge of disappointment of there isn't one. T-shirts are good too. In an ideal world, I'd have both.
Nelly Mar 2015 2:13pm, 19 Mar 2015 2,302 posts	0 Nelly Definitely "Cheap race fee, no medal" for me - I genuinely don't understand the fascination of collecting medals?!? If you are going to have a memento (and I don't think every race needs one), then make it something useful (a tech t-shirt, a pair of socks, a hoodie, a towel, a bag, etc...)
