Summer Series - Beacon Fell Sunday 6th July

If you're going to this event, and are willing to help for an hour or two as well as run, could you please contact Bill Cook on b.cook@lancaster.ac.uk or leave a message on 01524 735862. This will be a low-key, friendly event & would be ideal for newcomers who haven't gone 'behind the scenes' before at an orienteering event. This is a really good way to learn more about the sport, and to get to know people in the Club better.

More Summer Series results

Summer Series event 2 at Beacon Fell included an exciting loop race, as was experimented with last year. We have encountered a few minor problems in processing results, these should have been fixed by the next event but there will be some gaps in the split times shown for Williamson Park and Beacon Fell. Because of the problems there were three runners disqualified in error last week, they have now been reinstated. All the results can be viewed via the Summer Series page.
