NSP GP2025/26 GP4 2/12/25

Hi all,

The transfer window IS NOW OPEN until 23/12/2025 when it will slam shut faster than Bens wallet when Simon walks in the room.  Please only apply with full runner details (available at nspgp.uk) to the email address – nspgrandprix@gmail.com.

Please find attached the results from last nights’ Grand Prix; note that there were a total of 170 finishers, but only 169 wearing a race bib.  

Therefore 169 placings have been recorded in results and the bar for non-runners has been set as 170.

IMPORTANT: Due to the high number of runners turning up without their bib and expecting an instant service at the start line, to which we simply don’t have the time to deal with, we are imposing 2 new rules, NOT BACKDATED, from Jan 1st 2026.

1.  Penalty points accrued from Jan onwards will apply to TEAM SCORES and will affect overall winning teams.

2.  Requests for new bibs from the RD at the start MUST be done before 6:50pm (10 mins before start).  There is a real safety issue involved here as the eagle eyed will see a discrepancy between last nights stated figure and the true figure – this is due to distraction on the start line.  Requests after 10 mins before the start will be refused on the grounds of we really do need to understand exactly how many runners are out on the course!

Thanks all, we wish you a Merry Christmas.

Best

Ivan, Vaughan and Rob
