Entries:

On-line entries preferred, via Fabian4. You may also enter on paper, using the standard entry form, posted to Chris Roberts, 296 Torrisholme Road, Lancaster, LA1 2TU. Cheques should be made out to SROC. When entering you are invited to choose the course which is appropriate to your age class, as shown in the table below. You may run up (i.e enter a longer course than that allocated to your age class) by entering a "higher" colour. e.g. M60 running Brown has entered M Open. You may also run down, in which case just choose the colour course which you wish to run. However if running down you will not be competitive in the Championship, although you will of course be competitive on the course and included in the results. For this event we request that those of M/W14- restrict their entry to Orange.

In order to encourage greater competition within age classes we have combined classes so that there will be Junior (M/W18-), M & W Open, Vet (M/W 40+) and Supervet (M/W55+).
