Report
It was a really lovely evening for the first of the Spring Series events at Sizergh Castle tonight, thank you for joining us and we hope you enjoyed your courses. Apologies from the planner for one control on the Orange course not quite being right, hopefully this didn't affect anyone much.
As always, many thanks to all the volunteers involved with tonight's event = Loz for planning, Rach for safety, Sandy as Series Co-ordinator, Jerry for the start, the control collectors Lily & Jon, Kath, Rach, Kev and Sian and the SI Team of Ali, Mike and Sandy.
Also a very big thank you to everyone who kindly returned their maps to us for recycling tonight - we had 55 entry on the day, which is just huge and makes it tricky firstly for us to plan map numbers for printing and also creates a lot of work and queues at the registration/download car - if you know you will be coming to an event, to avoid queues and ensure you have a map of your choice, please enter online before the online entries close !!
