BRIC 2023 Birmingham

Post by Tako »

BRIC 2023 has been announced!

It will be in Birmingham this year, and fortunately they announced it much earlier than last year, so hopefully this year it will happen (after frustrating cancellation last year).

Hope to see many of you there as I am signed up :-)

Ooh crikey, good news indeed (very, very easy for road, rail and flight links too). Sadly I’m on holiday.
I hope it’s a success and it’s run in 24!

Hi Tako - there's a good chance I'll attend this (as a spectator). Hopefully there will be a few people there I've not seen for years and maybe a handful of Free Spirits, so it would be a great opportunity to catch-up.

That is great Ian!
Will be great to meet you and Plummy again, has been far too long since last time.
Why not join the fun? Participants have free spectator pass as well and then you can absorb even more of it.
It will be my first event, so need to get used to procedures etc. so not expecting a great result.

My computer refuses to spell your name correctly and keeps putting Take, so Good Luck Take :) πŸ‘ and Richard and I hope that the experience will encourage you to enter future competitions. We are already doing something on that Saturday, otherwise we would have loved to be there in order to cheer you on.xx

Tako, Iβ€˜m very sorry to learn that you were not able to attend this yearsβ€˜ BRIC, after all that hard and well thought out training youβ€˜ve put in.. I do hope you can keep the momentum until next yearβ€˜s BRIC.

Very well done to Guy to your spectacular time! =D> =D> =D> Maybe youβ€˜d like to write a short race report? As very few of us are racing these days I think itβ€˜ll be well received :fswink:
