Junior Training
Junior coaching session 9.45am – 10.45am, meet at registration at 9.45am.

The session is aimed at those running white / yellow / orange courses. Older or more experienced juniors are very welcome to join us as role models and assistant coaches. 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 10.45am. 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 Carol Lovegrove (email address on request) by Wed 17 Jan, 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 Carol.

Entry Deadlines
Entering by 11.59pm on the Sunday before the event will guarantee you a map and a discounted entry fee. Map limits will then be set, and prices will increase by £1 per adult and 50p per junior.
Online entries will stay open until last start times, until we are full (limited parking) or until the maps run out. Payment for Entry on the Day (EOD) will be via racesignup.co.uk. Unfortunately, we are unable take cash payments.
Name substitutions for those pre-entered can be made on the day at no cost.

Location of Enquiries and Download
Enquiries will be near the car park. What3words: slam.swept.solar

If you are new to orienteering, please come along to Enquiries and there will be people around who will be able to answer your questions, sort out your hired dibber, talk you through how the start works and point you in the direction of the start (where you will pick up your map).

You must download once you have finished. This is a safety check!

Start
The start will be within 100m of the Enquiries flag and tent.
You will need to visit Enquiries if you are hiring a dibber. Otherwise, you can go straight to the start as you will have pre-entered on racesignup
At the start, there will be people there to help if you need it.

Start Times
Starts are open 10-11.30am. Please choose a start time to ensure you can finish before the courses close at 12.30pm.
Start times have been added to your sign up to prevent long queues at the start. However, these are advisory only. We won't be checking!

Cars and Parking
Entry to the event off the A320 will lead through a residential area. No more than 10mph through the houses please. And then on to track parking. Please DO NOT park near the houses. We had complaints from the neighbours last year and have struggled to get permissions this year. We are on a last chance!
Please share transport where you can

Facilities
There are no toilet or cafe facilities

Dogs
Dogs to be on leads in the car park and under control on the courses. Please clean up after your dog.
