Dvorak May 2018 1:23pm, 1 May 2018 15,949 posts	0 Dvorak It's a big weekend for music in Glasgow. If you don't fancy TRNSMT with the Arctic Monkeys and Interpol, there's Fiesta X-FOLD with Earth, Wind and Fire and The Pointer Sisters. Or Roger Waters, only £96.50 a ticket (them's the cheap seats).

Bazoaxe May 2018 2:22pm, 1 May 2018 13,002 posts	0 Bazoaxe Maybe the bikes at Stirling are a wee trial to see how Alloa and the Stirling Triathlon will work together on the same route. I haven't seen any resolution to that yet ! Re the mile in Glasgow, could we get details in the sidebar and I will investigate my availability !

JulesR May 2018 3:04pm, 1 May 2018 25,289 posts	0 JulesR Rearranged Alloa 1/2 clash with Stirling Tri is now resolved. Alloa will start later (maybe 10:30?) so the last super sprint heat bikers will be clear of Menstrie before the lead runners get anywhere near. Pretty simple solution once Alloa agreed to change the start time:)

K5 Gus May 2018 3:35pm, 1 May 2018 2,572 posts	0 K5 Gus Is that a very recent decision JulesR ? The Alloa HM website and FB page still says 9am. If they change the start time then I hope they are going to review their Cancellation Policy, which states that there will be no refunds. A later start time and therefore later finish time, might not be suitable for some people for whom 9am start was suitable. Update - I assume it's not that recent a decision - Someone posted a question to their Facebook page on 27th April, saying they'd heard via Stirling Tri Club the start time was changing, and it's not been answered yet................
princesszee May 2018 4:35pm, 1 May 2018 610 posts	0 princesszee Alloa did offer refunds, albeit to the detriment of the children who will not receive a Christmas present. I’m going to a concert and chose to have my money back and I’ll enter again next year if I want to nearer the time.
