Frances Wright will be raising money for her summer tours by tempting us with tea, coffee, juice, Wilf’s veggie chilli with optional pitta and/or chees, soup, hotdogs and cakes. Dig deep (but leave something for me as I do tend to take a long time to finish!)

Early Email Entry (EEE) Form- We need your name and the course you’d like to run by noon on Sat 26^th May. EEE is explained below.

Organiser: Evgueni Chepelin would appreciate offers of help by email or text to 07714 242390 from Gramp members, in particular those who are not organising or helping at Jubilee Five.

Planner: Helen Rowlands
Controller: Roger Coombs

Early Email Entry Explained: If you think that you are probably coming to the event, and have a fair idea of which course you would like to run, please would you use the EEE form by noon on Saturday 26^th May telling us your name(s) and course(s). This helps ease the data entry process as we can get ahead of the game before Sunday morning. Ta!

For those who send in an early email entry, you just come to registration at the event, pay for your run and pick up a timing brikke (there is no need to complete an entry slip). A map will be reserved for you up till 12 noon on Sunday.

Please note that this is not a full pre-entry. It’s entirely on a ‘no obligation’ basis and no charge will be made if you cannot come to the event. No money is being taken in advance. This is simply a way of simplifying and speeding up the process of runner registration. If you change your mind, and decide on the morning of the event to run a different course, that’s fine. Simply fill in an entry slip for the new course, and register in the standard way. If you cannot come to the event after all, that’s absolutely fine too. There is no need to email to let us know, and no apologies or explanations are necessary! Anyone who chooses not to make an early email entry will not be disadvantaged – everyone is still welcome to register for a course in the standard way on Sunday morning.

Registration 18:30 – 19:30, courses close 20:30.

Seniors £3, Juniors/Students £1  – we charge per map so the whole family can go round together if you want. Bring your friends as well, the more the merrier!

Short – easy (yellow) 1.5 – 2 km
Medium – little bit harder (orange) 2.5 – 3km
Short and Long Technical – as hard as we can make it for that area 2.5 – 3km and 3.5 – 4.5km

One course TD3 or Orange standard, about 3km, with lots of controls and route choice in a relatively small area so full on concentration required just as much as fleet feet. Great for developing Juniors too if accompanied by a TD3 standard runner. Best 4 scores out of 6 will count towards the FSS league results. Overall results can be found on the MAROC website.

Registration: 18:00 to 18:50
Starts: 18:30 to 19:15
Fees: £4 Senior, £2 Junior/Student
