Thanks to Kate for planning and to Robin for organising/putting out the controls.

Remember that next week the 4th and final sprint of the series is on TUESDAY, not the usual Wednesday.

Results from Sprint 2: Selkirk Hill

The results from this evening’s sprint at Selkirk Hill are HERE.

Note that there were 2 courses, the same apart from the first couple of controls.

Version 2 of the results is now available with both sets of results amalgamated: HERE

Thank you for supporting RR latest Spring Sprint event at Selkirk Hill. It was great to see another fine turn-out.   I hope you enjoyed your run despite the Baltic temperatures. Most folk seemed to finish with a smile on their face and I thank you for your generous and positive comments the end of your runs.  Thanks also to those who offered to collect in controls.  As usual it was a RR team effort with Lindsey at the helm organising the technical bits, Pauline ensuring the Covid-19 risk assessment was completed and Robin helping to collect in controls at the end.
The idea of the ‘gaffled’ controls was to try break up any precession of runners .  Not sure how well this worked but it added interest to the start.  Hope to see you at Gala Hill next week.

Special half-price membership offer

As part of the support to restart our sport, the SOA Board of Directors last week approved that those joining or renewing their SOA membership as of the 1st May will do so at half price. We hope this will provide some incentive for new families and individuals to join, especially those that have recently started orienteering or those who have sampled it through MapRun activities. The price of adult membership will be £5 and Juniors £1 from 1st May (their membership will run until 31st December 2021). Add Roxburgh Reivers club fee of £1 and 50p to these figures making a very modest total of £6 and £1.50 respectively for 8 months membership. Join online via the following link.
