Brown and Blue runners - please DO NOT be tempted to short cut through a couple of sections of fallen wall. This is recent and unstable. We do not want to jeopardise permissions by causing more damage.

Other Notes: 

START TIMES

After a brief pause - due to you know what - the Club Chase is back on the calendar!
For newer members, nearer the time, you will select one of the colour coded courses on offer. Your start time will then be allocated, (this is based on a secrect formula) and published here when available - this may not be until the day before.
The aim is to get all runners chasing to the fInish for 12 noon.
First one back gets the WCOC Chase Trophy!

HELPERS on the Day   If anyone is free to help run the timed Starts or record the Finishers that would be appreciated. We have a couple of members but could use a few more. Also, anyone willing to collect a few controls afterwards.
Many Thanks, please email anne_burbidge (at) hotmail.com
