Hmm i would have to say that maybe the problem is that everyone is in the same category? Well the times i've entered (a few years ago now) i found that it was the same people winning and although i enjoyed it there didn't seem to be anything for a novice competitor. Maybe give less expensive main prizes but have an expert category and a novice category would be a good way to introduce 'new blood' as such? I think cost hasn't got too much to do with it, were all skint but i think alot of people still go and get drunk in town. Im not worried about facillities as such, were tree workers not office workers a bit of cold water didn't hurt anyone. Cost wise well you charge what you need to really.

I hit between low 15's and mid 16's mainly on side spikes. Generally top 4 places are within this time bracket. But normally the 1st 2 runs are a lot slower 18-20 secs as you get used to the condition of the pole. Im moving up to expert prob for the apf so will be a lot slower as im using toe spikes which i did a 24.95 seconds on, as its like learning to walk again
