Is the BCN Challenge phone still knocking around? I don't think it really had the desired effect last year though.

 

I presume #bcnchallenge will be in force this year, and personally I've just discovered the wonder of 'Instagram' where you can use 'hashtags' and it links automatically to Twitter and Facebook if you want it to. For those that 'do' social media it might be worth investigating.

 

I think most peoples phones stayed well inside their pockets and under layers of waterproofs last year, but with some better weather i think the fun side of using SM could be a good enhancement this year, especially for those unable to take part but want to keep up to date with the shenanigans.

 

Anyone fancy doing an up to date list of forum members taking part?

Yep I still have the BCN Challenge twitter active.

I still have the phone too, not sure if the number will remain though- as you say though, the phone wasn't really much use!

Team HALSALL. Junior, Rob M and Captain Fizz.

 

Our attendance is dependant on the weather over the next couple of weeks as fitting the boat out to trade is my priority and we'll only take part if the work is completed, including painting the boat. But I'm confident and determined so you can stick us on the list!

 

You can also stick OLD FRIENDS on the list as i know Matty is entered with (i assume) Kathy as crew.
