Summer Saturday Events

With dwindling attendances at Summer Evening Events, this year we are trying something different - similar low-key events, but on Saturday mornings. This should at least avoid the struggle through rush-hour traffic which seems to be a major disincentive. The annual June Jaunter (see right) remains on a Thursday evening.

If you crave weekday evening orienteering, our neighbour clubs Wrekin Orienteers and Octavian Droobers hold their summer evening events on Tuesdays and Wednesdays respectively. City of Birmingham OC also hold training activities on Wednesday evenings at Sutton Park.

Rules

Format
A series of informal Saturday morning events held from April/May to July/August each year with nominal entry fees.
They provide an opportunity for members to gain experience in course planning, but any member may volunteer to organise one. No Controller is appointed, but novice planners may seek guidance from club Controllers as necessary. Organisers should consult the Summer Evening Event Guidelines (updated April 2013).
A nearby pub or cafe may be used for post-event course analysis but most events will be run from the back of a car by the organiser.

Courses
Each event offers three or four courses - Yellow / Orange, Green(ish) and Blue(ish), depending on available terrain - most are not suitable for courses of Technical Difficulty level 5.
To save effort, the Blue course can be the same as the Green with an extra loop to make up the distance; the Orange can be Yellow with a few extra legs/controls of Technical Difficulty level 3.
