As many as 45% of entrants may be first time entrants

I have just calculated that 244 of the entrants have not entered before. There are likely to be a few corrections to this because:

1. I don't have the non finishers between 1960 and 1973 in my database of 15,315 performances.
2. Women have have changed their surnames by marriage (or divorce).
3. People who have used their full name one year and an abbreviated name another (David, Dave).

With regard to the third category, if you identify any on the list let me know and I will change the database to the name used this year.

There is one additional difficulty with this list as John Smith may be a newcomer but someone else with the same name have previously walked. Please let me know any of these. These things might sound trivia but when the pressure is on at the time of the event they are difficult to check and people do get upset when mistakes are made. The more accuracy I can get into my records BEFORE THE WALK the better will be the quality of the reports I produce afterwards.

Anyway here are the 244 newcomers:
