Short, Medium and Long "scatter" courses will be available.  These fun events will (hopefully) be attractive to newcomers as an easy introduction to Orienteering. To make them sociable, it is hoped that they will start and finish near a café/coffee dock and will be in the city parks. 

We put out 20 controls. All controls are on all maps.  Controls can be taken in any order. There are 3 courses: the Long course have to get any 18,  Medium 13 and the Short any 8.
Everyone gathers around at the start point 10 minutes before the appointed time. We give them maps. No looking at maps until the GO!

There will be 3 Mass Starts. The first at 11.00 for the Long Course. This will be followed by the Middle followed by the Short. At the moment ... 10 minute gap between each start ... but this might be increased to 15 minutes.
