Under-10’s to have an adult accompanying them, 10+ may attend unaccompanied. Any junior who competes at the SN Saturday league events is welcome.

Training will be held in conjunction with the Saturday League event. If you wish to compete in the event, please enter using https://racesignup.co.uk and select a start time after 11am. You can train and then run competitively; we will be using different controls.

Parents who wish to compete in the SN event may do so while the training is taking place, then shadow their child around a course if required. Please be on time to collect your child, to allow the coaches to compete too.

If you wish to attend the training, please contact Laurence Townley (email address on request to events@southernnavigators.com) by Wed 18 October, with your junior’s name, age and which course they usually run (as an individual or pair), so that appropriate maps can be printed. There is no charge for the training session.

If you have questions, please contact Laurence.
