Pre-enter to Jon Hateley (jon@thehateleys.plus.com) by asap (Wednesday 25th January at latest)
The draw has been published for the CompassSport Cup heat on Sunday 19th February. DEE asked for and have been allocated to the WM heat on Cannock Chase along with 7 other clubs in the Cup and 4 in the Trophy competition. With 8 teams, the top 2 teams will qualify and, if OD are one of them, the 3rd team will also qualify. The other clubs are WCH, LEI, OD, NOC, NGOC, HOC and DVO. The Trophy teams are COBOC, ERYRI, WRE and POTOC.
Hopefully most of the 53 who are on the club weekend will take part plus another 20 (?) or so coming from home. The rules are as before, to remind you, there are ten courses and the classes are allocated as follows:
Men Open/ Women Open/ M45+ M20-/ W45+ W20-/ M60+/ W60+ M75+/ M18-/ W18-/ M14- and W14-
The top 25 scorers count, up to 6 from 2 courses - the men's open and the (M45+ M20-), 4 from the others except the juniors which can count up to 2. M and W14- course is orange, M and W18- course is light green. Yellow and White courses will be provided as well, can pre-enter or eod . With me being away, you have a new co-ordinator - Jon Hateley (jon@thehateleys.plus.com) tel 01606 889267 so don't email me as you won't get a response. Jon will collect names and money (£10 for adults, £2 junior/student, cheques payable to Deeside OC) if not sent electronically to DEE, and then assess if anyone should run up a class to cover any shortfalls. He would then contact you to see if that was OK with you. Early responses to Jon would be appreciated so he has more time to chase people and sort out any running up. Jon has the DEE start time schedule for him to complete so any requests for any particular start time block should be made when contacting Jon. Remind him if you have moved up a class to save him going through the membership list with a magnifying glass to check your date of birth.
As the competition is now run by Compass Sport, all the info and the Rules are no longer on the BOF website, they are here.
Counters have to be full or local members of BOF so club-only members cannot count.
The final is in the Scottish borders on the Tullies' farm (once used for the Harvester), 30 miles north of Carlisle on the 30th September.
