Specifically - Sydney!
You have all been specially selected to take up the opportunity to compete in the second Amazing Race Goes Local.
Last year the RED team (Fran and Dyl) showed that brains win over brawn as they strategised their way to victory by craftily splitting up as they raced their way to the end point [or, if you listen to our runners up, team GREEN (Em and James), team RED relied on their superior athleticism to edge out the true thinking man's team].
What do you need to know?
*The Amazing race will take place in the afternoon, starting somewhere in the city and take around 3 hours to complete and will be followed by drinks at our house or somewhere that we choose based on the end point of the race.
*Completing the race will cost no more than about $25 per person. This is an increase from last year and will depend on the precise route, but let us know if this is a disincentive. There will, of course, be a prize for the winning team…
What do we need from you?
*First we need to settle a date.
Our suggestions are:
Saturday 29 September*
Sunday 30 September*
Saturday 20 October
Saturday 27 October
Saturday 3 November
* Note that this is a long weekend with a public holiday Monday.
*Next we need to settle a time. As we said above, the race will take about 3 hours and will be followed by drinks. So to me this means it can start anywhere between 12 noon and about 2.30pm. Please list a preference in your reply.
*Then we need to settle teams. Minters has helpfully changed email systems since last year so I'm not sure I still have everyone's email address. Therefore, please forward this email to people you would like to be included, but bearing in mind that teams must consist of TWO people. We may be able to pair up some people based on people not being available etc.
What do you need to do?
Please contact us by Monday 9 September, letting us know whether or not you are interested in competing this year, who you will be competing with and what times and dates suit you.
Please also feel free to suggest any improvements on last year, although we reserve the right to do what we want (or more specifically, make you do what we want).
The sooner you get back to us the more flexible we can be!
Thanks!

Any of those dates look OK for me for now. But I will put in a preference for a Saturday. That way the drinking can keep on drinking on until drunk (without consequence). Though the 30th Sept also offers that same advantage. I foresee some may not wish to do the long weekend though, due to other potential commitments.
