Event Summary

It's club champs and our AGM time of year again.   As usual to let everyone finish at approximately the same time so we can proceed quickly on to the AGM the club champs will be in a score format.  

Club Champs

Everyone is welcome to join us for this score format event but only club members will qualify for the club champs.

There will be two courses - an Open and Junior Course.  The Junior course will be a 30 minute score for W/M12 and under and W/M14 age classes.  For all older age classes the Open course will be a 45 minute score.  

Score events are a type of event in which you have to find as many controls as possible in a fixed time. The number of points scored for each control varies according to its distance and technical difficulty, you can choose which controls to go to, and there will be a penalty if you take longer than the time allowed.

Each competitor will be allocated a handicaps calculated according to historic form.  Alan Halliday has kindly offered to work out the handicaps for those entered.

AGM

The AGM will be held directly after completion of the Club Champs.  We would encourage everyone to stay and bring a picnic to consume while we hold the AGM.  For the hardy there is always the possibility of a swim after.

Ticks and Covid

Ticks

  • Risk Awareness:   Please be aware that ticks are common across many of the areas we run in and can carry infections such as Lyme Disease and Tick-Borne Encephalitis.  Ticks are active in the UK primarily from March to October, but year-round vigilance is recommended.

  • Prevention Strategies:   

  • Wearing full leg and abdomen cover in the forest.  

  • Applying insect repellent to exposed skin and clothing.

  • Checking yourself for ticks after your run.  Common areas for ticks include behind the knees, underarms, hairline, and any pressure points.

  • Considering vaccination against TBE, if visiting high-risk areas in Europe or Asia.

  • Tick Removal and Symptoms:   Consider using a tick removal tool to ensure the tick is removed quickly and completely.   If a tick has attached, it should be removed as soon as possible.
  • Health Action:  If symptoms develop, such as a rash or flu-like symptoms, individuals should seek medical advice promptly and mention the tick bite, as not all doctors may be familiar with the conditions.
