MAROC trial “Early Entry System” at Redburn
Following the success of the Gramp system we ran the EEE system at Redburn on Sunday 27th March. This speeded up registration, and reduced computer data entry on the morning of the event.
You can help to make our events more efficient, and also get an official ranking
With increasing numbers attending all of our events we need to ensure our entry and registration systems are as slick and efficient as possible.
Bring your BOF numbers to events as it makes registration much easier and also allows you to get BOF ranking points at our level C events.

What is Orienteering
Orienteering is a challenging outdoor adventure sport that exercises both the mind and the body. The aim is to navigate in sequence between control points marked on a unique orienteering map and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time.
