Awards For All Grant
I am happy to say that the WEE Series has
been successful in applying for an Awards
for All grant for the events scheduled in August.
This will enable us to use electronic punching and use also pre-printed
maps. This will of course further enhance the experience of the
series for all participants.
As far as electronic punching goes - don't worry if you are not
familiar with the system. There will always be someone available
to explain what happens. The benefits will mean instant overall
results, split time results for everyone, and a much more appealing
overall experience for participants - new and old alike. We will
be using the latest version of the SportIdent
equipment. So, if you've got your own SI card - bring it along,
if not - we'll lend you one for the night.
Similarly for the pre-printed maps. This is only possible due to
the grant from Awards
for All. It will mean that all competitors will be issued with
their own pre-printed map on the night, which they can then keep
as their souvenir.
All that remains for us to do now is to encourage as many people
as possible to come along on the Wednesday nights. The cost is only
£1.50 per person (including free hire of SI cards).
As for all the new-comers who want to read up about the history
of orienteering and understand a little bit more about the skills
involved, there is a wealth of material available online. Two useful
starting points are:
However, the best way to find out about the sport is simply to
come along and we'll explain everything to you first hand.
