Well it was a bit of a wet start to the 2023 Night Urban events, for those who did get wet tonight, we hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment of the event ! Hopefully you enjoyed the courses planned by Gav tonight.
As usual, many thanks to all from LOC involved in anyway with tonight's event - the main stars being Gav for planning, Jerry for safety controlling, Rach as Series Co-ordinator and first aid cover along with Kath, Pete, Gav, Jerry, Kath and Rach for control collecting and the SI Team of Ali, Mary and Neil.
Finally, many thanks to all the staff at the Golden Rule for allowing us to use the back room at the pub tonight, it was great to see so many folks making use of the facilities and enjoying the chance to socialise together after their runs.

To do this, enter the event using one person’s name (the junior in a junior + adult pair, or one adult of an adult pair) and please add the names of everyone accompanying in the ‘Additional names and ages’ box when you enter. You will just use one SI Card (dibber) between you but you can buy extra maps using the “extras” on SI Entries for £1
