Before I even start on next years beast it would be a good time for you to come up with ways we can improve on it. I are always looking at ways we can change it for the better. We pack so much into the weekend maybe to much and by Monday evening we always end up over running.
The beast is just that a nightmare, so how can we make sure we finish earlier. One idea is to have the Auction on the Sunday at Dartington.
Anyone got any more idea.

One thing we still had problems with was parking the cars up a Illfacombe as the public would not listen to the Marshalls about staying clear of the cars until they were all parked. I know this won't make much difference to the time we finish but it would mean we may be able to park the cars more efficently.

Maybe I will ask IIfracombe police for some help with crowd control

You must have done well this year. we were 3rd car fom end and we did not have to queue at all. We were by the Landmark before we had to slow down. I think the traffic lights along the way through Ilfracombe do us a favour.

Could we have some of the areas fenced off, even if it's with red and white tape? Once the cars are parked up, the tape can be taken down?
How about possibly setting off a bit later on the Monday and having the auction before setting off? That way everyone will be there and some of the people watching might bid?? We could make sure last check in is at 10.00 and briefing and auction is at 10.30 We could also have a drivers briefing at the same time.
The only problem I can see with moving the auction is would it put more pressure on the people counting the money to get a total quicker?

That raises another point - if the street collections aren't included, that's going to make the total dip, but the only way to include them is if they are counted at the end.
Although, the auction could be done at the start with a sub-total and have the prize-giving and speeches at Ilfracombe with a total total...
Possibly, but would we miss out on many bids from people who only do the Monday?
You also miss out on bids from the ones that have gone home. On sunday they are more lively and hyped up and might be more keen to part from their money. At Worthing yesterday, the auction went on too long and so did the raffle! I got really quite bored with it all and it turned a bit cold and cloudy .
