This is going to be amazing fun! (oh no it isn't!)
Yes it is! Really exciting! (oh no it isn't!)

A Fun Family Festive Frolic
A 45-minute orienteering challenge. There will be a panto mystery to crack, by collecting special control clues, which you will find easier if you swot up the names of the characters in the following pantomimes:
Individual entries, or teams of up to 4 people (maximum two M/W18+ in each team). Enter as individuals but register your team on the day (you can optionally let us know when you enter if you think you'll be teaming up). Give your team a panto-theme name and dress festively!
No dibbers required but a pen and paper will be useful (and a watch).
Mass starts at 11am and 11:30 (with options for starts between those times).
Enter online here at Racesignup or come along and enter on the day (with cash). Online entries close at 11am on the day of the event (first mass start time).
Guildford Orienteers will be available to provide assistance, guidance and
festive refreshments.

Start times

This event has a score format
This event requires you to visit as many controls as you can (in any order) within 45 minutes in order to solve some pantomime questions. You do not need to know the pantomime plots but knowing the names of the characters is pretty important. The team needs to find 3 characters for each pantomime.
Every team member gets a map and teams can stay together or split up in order to get more control visits in the allotted 45 minutes.
Teams: When you start and have your maps, you may want to discuss team strategy before setting off (separately or together).
When you have either completed the challenge, or run out of time, proceed to the Finish as a team, and write down your finish time (of your last finisher) from the event clock. You then collect an answer sheet, write in the numbers against each Pantomime, and hand in the sheet for it to be scored.
You will score 1 point for each correct character placement (maximum of 3 per Panto). You will have a point deducted for each minute or part minute over 45 minutes.
No dibber but watch and pen/paper very useful!
No dibbers are required for this event, but you will want to have a watch and pen & paper (for each team member). The pen/paper is to write down answers as you go; the watch to help you get back in time.
