I believe one will be issued shortly Mazza.


Whilst not a forumite, nor a regular poster, the mysterious Surfbobby will almost certainly announce the date here on this thread, where it is traditional for him to start his post with the legendary refrain "Hello Sports Fans..."

  • 3 weeks later...

I have a second Barry the Bear!! Smaller than THE Barry and bright red, but clearly a close relative


Like Barry - he is a porcelain Berlin Bear, was originally a corporate gift and has been gifted on to us. In this case it is from my friends in Berlin who, on hearing the fame of Barry the Bear, donated a chum for him.


So, perhaps we can match Wimbledon and have Gents and Ladies Barry the Bear trophies?


Or is that Barriet the Bear?


I shall pass Barriet the Bear on to Help-Ma-Boab and Surf Bobby at an appropriate moment.

This sounds amazing.....can't wait to hear more. I shall get my 3 housemates interested.


Two of us were looking for ways to meet more people locally and the book club was the only thing that appealed due to the location being the pub....so this seems perfect!


Looking forward to it


Abi

M P. Gratefully accept Barriet for the ladies 2010 champion.


Surfbobby will announce the date. Likely to be later than last year due to other commitments.


There will be plenty of notice, so dinnae fesh yersels. Good to see interest in the 3rd running of the BBRR. Everybody welcome be it in an "athletic" capacity or to support, watch and imbibe.


Cheers

Greetings Sports Fans


Back by popular demand for the 3rd year in a row - The Barry Barry Road Race 2010 Ooooh Yeah!!!!!!!


The event is to be held in July for the first time due to literally a million different factors, apologies to those who were hoping for a June date.


So please place a big ole bookmark in your diaries for SATURDAY JULY 24TH!


As per standard, early drinkers can get their groove on from 12 o'clock at the Plough. The gun is due to go off at 2PM but if the last years are anything to go by, this time can be considered fairly loose.


Thanks very much to the walking, breathing legend that is SMB and his prizes, very kind, again. Help Ma Boab, Evel Kenevel and myself are very much looking forward to seeing all of you again, and as always, any help/support (ie Clockhouse drink buyers) are most appreciated. I believe it was Anna and co who did a marvelous job last year.

Mr Ben, the official race correspondent, we'll try and sort out a press pass for you and Seany - expecting big things from you this year. I've got a feeling that the Peoples Champion Prize may be coming back to ED this year.


So thanks very much folks, get training - those pints aren't gonna down themselves. See ya at the starting line

PS - anyone seen the Bear?

Perfect timing with BBRR's 'Perfect Cousin' (what I like to do he doesn'), The London Marathon, taking place on Sunday. Anyone who's thinking of competing in the BBRR and wants to get an inkling of what it's like, watch that.


It's nothing like that.


Promotional material will be displayed prominently at Church of MEAT.


ek

Well there you have it. Surfboab has called the date. Ample time to get in shape for the 2010 run.


Now all we need is The Bear to parade at the start line, and acquaint with the new ladies trophy. The Barry Bear was last seen at clockhouse June 2009.


See you at the start line for some pre race "limbering" up on the 24th July. CHARGE.......................

I have Barriet the Bear for the ladies race.


Shouldnt we award Barry and Barriet for the day and then perhaps replace them with a Certificate? That way Barry and Barriet will not get lost. The Clockhouse might be persuaded to keep hold of them for us.

Was reading the brilliant postings about the run and I thought great i'll have a go at this!! I like the sound of the start and finish and to my dismay it is in July when I am on hols!! But I will hold my glass of whatever I am drinking at the time and toast you brave souls who will run into the jaws of exhaustion! Perhaps I will be able to participate in 2011, or be at the start and saunter to the finish.. Good luck y'all :)-D:)-D

Barry Bear status update.....having employed a dog, not unlike the one that found the world cup all those years ago, I am closing down on The Barry Bear. Looking good to be in possesion on July 24th to parade at the Plough prior to its departure to the Clockhouse for this years presentation, along with the Ladies Bear. Hoping Station Master Barry will be available to present again this year. Like to keep the event true to its inception, keep it pure Barry, ken whit ehs mean!


Agree with Michael P, this year we should keep possesion of the Bear(s), and if the clockhouse could keep em even better. Make a nice display for them, oh and the History, those Bears have some history. An old trophy of mine is still behind the bar at the Harbour Bar, Downings, Donegal from several years ago so the system does work (The Downing in downings challenge 2004).


Keep up the training, pays off on the day.

Love Donegal. Did you instigate any challenges in Muff?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
