Winter Run-Around 10'


Its nearly time for the Winter Runaround, and we're looking for folk to make some teams.  The Winter Runaround is open to both Explorers and Network, and is a big widegame covering the whole of South Yorkshire, where teams of between 4 and 7 travel around using their day travel pass, doing different challenges on the way.  It all finishes off at Heasley for tea, and prize giving.

The unit was robbed of first place last year, so we've got a bit of winning to do this year.

It all starts of at 8am on Staurday 13 Feb, where you do your first base (at the unit).  Then your free to go to any base, collecting points as you go.  You get points for the bases you attend, and the distance travelled between them - the more points the better. You can travel all day on one ticket (included in the price) on all busses, trains and trams.

The cost for the event is £7.50 per person, which includes your travel pass and tea at the finish at Hesley Wood.

ENTRIES FOR TEAMS HAVE NOW CLOSED.
What you need to do:
1. Get your team together (between 4 and 7 people).  It doesn't matter if there's only 3 of you, we can do a bit of shuffeling
2. Email us (or phone me) with your team details (names, etc)
3. Pay your money. Cheques payable to Woodseats Scout Unit for £7.50 per person

We've had a good number of teams take part in the past, so lets have another good Year!
