Lake Ginninderra Handicap 29th March 2011
Lake Ginninderra Handicap 29th March 2011
A small number of helpers were present today for the running of this Handicap event.
Andrew Sutcliffe and Doug Fry were present to help, while Phil Carruthers arrived in time to indicate he would start early and get back in time to help, he handed out place cards.
Andrew had a "high tech" device to record handicap times, start times etc.. It was a Kindle device, which had a time display plus all the details necessary to record and display start times for each runner. It was eminently readable in the outdoor sunshine, and served to display times for runners to start.
It has stored all the necessary data related to this handicap.
The data is also available on the internet. Refer to the following link.

In the vicinity of 18 runners started today, including Carolyne Kramar who performed creditably in the event over a relatively flat course.
She has resumed running in some of the Canberra events.
The dates algorithm within the very smart GH webpage has been enhanced to include Easter due to the fact that in 2011 ANZAC day and Easter Monday will both fall on
25th of April which of course is not a handicap day of Tuesday. However with two important holidays on the same day Monday the powers have decided that Monday will be ANZAC day and Tuesday Easter Tuesday? hence the GH will be moved to Wednesday! The next time ANZAC day and Easter Monday will fall on the same day will be 2095. You can calculate the date of Easter Sunday in the GH webpage by typing easter
(1950,2100) in curly brackets for these years or any other range you might like. In 2038 things might get even more confusing since ANZAC day the 25th of April will be on Sunday, but on moving the holiday to the Monday they will find that that will be Easter Monday the 26th of April the latest Easter ever falls in its 4,300,000 years (approx) cycle!
