Note: membership renewal is due on the 1st January!\n\nIf you are fairly new to orienteering\, don't let the soun d of club championship put you off - there are 3 different courses to choo se from and you are welcome to run round as a pair or family/friendship gr oup (although to be deemed competitive you need to enter as an individual) .\n\n⏰ A score event is different to a normal cross country orienteering event in that\, there are a number of controls which you can visit in any order you wish within a set time. Controls may be worth different values and it is very unlikely that you will be able to visit them all. So\, you will need to plan your best route to get back before the set time. Latenes s back will bring point penalties.\n\n🏃‍♀️ 3 Courses\n\n1️⃣ Y oung Junior Course 1 is suitable for Primary School Children - courses sti ck close to paths\, and the use of a compass is not necessary (technical d ifficulty 2). This is the MW8/10 Championship course and has a time limit of 30 minutes.\n\n2️⃣ Junior/Novice Senior Course 2 is suitable for im proving Juniors and novice adults - the ability to use compass and navigat e away from paths is needed (technical difficulty 3/4). This is the MW12/1 4 Championship Course and also has a time limit of 45 minutes.\n\n3️⃣ Senior Course 3 is suitable for competent orienteers (technical difficulty 4/5). Some controls will be placed far away and in physically and technic ally challenging terrain. This is the Senior Championship course for MW16s and over only. This course has a time limit of 60 minutes.\n\nTime penalt ies - for every minute/part minute you are late you will be deducted 10 po ints on Course 1 and 20 points for courses 2 ad 3.\n\n👟 Clothing\, Safe ty and terrain conditions \n\nThe underfoot conditions on the main forest trails and deep in the forest is generally not too bad. However there are some very wet and muddy places\, especially along the small forest paths which are cut up by mountain bikers\, so wearing you nice white trainers i s not a good idea. The better grip you can have\, the better - to get up a nd over the earth walls\, through small water channels and across steep sl opes. The recent storms have had their effect\, so apologies if some areas of runnable forest (marked white on the map) have areas with fallen trees .\n\n❗ Full body cover and whistle for your safety is mandatory (3 long blasts signals distress\, those coming to your assistance can reply with 1 long blast\, continue 3 blasts every minute until assistance is with you) . As it is winter\, a waterproof jacket may also be a requirement. If this kit is requested and you turn up without it\, sorry you will be turned aw ay for your own safety - please adhere to officials instructions.\n\n❗ ❗ Please remember to return to the registration and download after your run. This is not only to record your score/time but\, more importantly\, t ells us you have safely returned. The first aid station will be based from the car park/registration.\n\n🚗 Parking and toilet facilities\n\nCar P arking will be in Woodburn Presbyterian Church Car Park. There are toilets located in the church hall building. On entry to the car park please park to the left this is because the main church hall is being used for anothe r function and they will need access and have reserved parking on the righ t.\n\n⏰ Registration\, timings and information\n\nRegistration open from 10:45 - 11:30am. This will be based either be out of the small room in th e back of the church hall\, or in the car park\, if the weather is not too bad.\n\nSI dibbers hire is free\, but lost dibbers are charged at the rep lacement cost of £30.\n\nIf you have your own dibber and have registered online there is no need to register on the day\, just make sure you attend the briefing.\n\nThere will be an event briefing for everyone in the car park at 11:30am sharp.\n\nThe start location for Course 1 is approximately a 5-10 min walk from registration/car park.
