There is already plans in place to get the local schools and colleges and newspapers involved in design for the 2018 season, however the time allocation for this season was very short as I am sure you will appreciate and although some like it, some hate it , everyone is talking about it ...........please realise that it is not all about pleasing our current fanbase, it is also about bringing new spectators in, love it or hate it, people are talking about it ! We possibly have 5 % of this forum thinking about the race bib, If I can get 5% of Plymouth and the surrounding area it would have made its purpose and I would be a very happy person. There is 260,000 people in Plymouth alone, 5% = 13000, if 5% of those decide to have a look , that equates to an extra 650 people through the turnstiles. I hope the 2018 design will have the same effect as this one.
