DIARY

(Go to the Official British Orienteering Fixtures List for events not listed here)

Feb 18   Spring Series Event 2 at Manor Park and Old Glossop. Grid Ref. SK039942
Entrance from roundabout on A57, 0.5km east of centre of Glossop.
Please note:
The White, Yellow and Orange courses are located entirely within the boundaries of Manor Park.
Both races of the chasing sprint will visit controls both inside AND outside the park boundary - thus providing a mix of parkland and urban orienteering.
As a consequence of this urban element, additional rules apply to the chasing sprint - i.e.
Under 16s MUST be accompanied by an adult; 16 and 17 year olds can compete without an adult, but only if written consent has been obtained from parent / guardian.
These are BOF rules - and failure to comply will invalidate our insurance for the event. 		Contact: Alison Doyle 0161 366 5175
