Orienteering in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire

TVOC Relay Teams for JK / BOC 2010

JK 2009 relay changeover

The deadlines for relay entries for both the JK and the British Orienteering Championships are fast approaching – entries for both must be in by 28 February. If you would like to run in a relay team, please let me (Alison Smith) know (preferably by e-mail) as soon as possible, and by 21 February at the latest, to give me time to organise runners into suitable teams and get the entries in.

I need to know your name, age class, SI card number, e-mail address, phone number (including mobile if possible in case I need to contact you on the day of the relay) and any preferences regarding relay category, team mates and leg number. Relay categories and payment details are listed below. Obviously I can't guarantee to put you in your first choice of category, as that depends on who else is available to form a team, but I'll do my best.

Once I've organised the teams, I'll be asking for cheques payable to TVOC to be sent to me before I put the entry in.
