Saturday Morning Events - Autumn 2009

Our Sprint series in the Spring proved to be very popular with a lot of our competitive-minded members,so we have thought up a format based on Score events that could prove equally popular, but we will also offer a "line" course for beginners who may find the score events a bit complicated.

The following courses will be available:

1) Simple score course with 15 controls on your map.

2) Advanced score course where the map has 15 controls marked, at 10 of these there will be a map revealing the position of 10 more controls - making 25 in total. You are not allowed to punch an extra "slave" control until you have punched the "master".
Remember them or bring a pen and mark them on your map. Mass Start at 11.00 for Sprint Score Race.

3) Easy "line" courses, very suitable for beginners.

For courses 1 and 2 everybody has 45 minutes to visit as many controls as possible. All controls are worth 10 points. There is a time penalty - you lose 10 points for every two minutes (or part thereof) that you are late back. Remember to bring a watch.

Registration from 10.00 to 11.00.
Start times from 10.30 to 11.30 for Score event.

Fees: £3.00 senior and £1.50 junior. No charge for dibbers (but £25 if not returned).

These events are designated as Sprint Score Events in the DIARY section. The full list can be seen on the Fixtures page.
