North West Night League Events 2011/2012

 

Sponsored by BrightBikeLights at www.Brightbikelights.com

UK importers of the popular high power (900 lumen) LED head torch

 

To encourage more participation, especially from ‘newcomers’, Brightbikelights have donated two top-quality headlight as prizes.

 

In typical orienteering fashion we have devised a scheme for the awards. (Why make it simple!)

First Prize to encourage participation

1)     Competitors at each event will be ‘allocated’ a raffle number.

2)     Winners of each class at each event will be ‘allocated’ a further raffle number

3)     The Organiser, Planner and Controller will also be ‘allocated’ a raffle number.

4)     At the end of the season the raffle will be drawn.

 

Second Prize for beginners/or lapsed night orienteers.

1)     A separate raffle ticket will be awarded to competitors ‘new’ to the North West Night League i.e those who have not competed in the last two years.

2)     However, you must compete in at least three of the scheduled events to qualify for the draw. (organiser/planner/controller can count as one of these ,if appropriate)

3)     At the end of the season the raffle will be drawn, however you cannot win both prizes

 

The end of the season the ‘raffle’ will be drawn and adjudicated by the Honorary Consul of Finland in Manchester.

 

The more events you do the more chance you have of winning.
