The event centre is at Cliff College Calver as used for the Northern Champs in January 2010. The start is near Curbar Gap so we have organised a shuttle bus service to the Start/Finish for helpers and those who might find the 2k walk a bit tough. The White and Yellow (and String) courses will be in the grounds of Cliff College, specially mapped for the occasion by Peter Gorvett.

For more information and offers of help contact Brian Shaw 07768 928432.

Start at 7pm from Tim's house (68 Roebuck Road).

Contrary to what you might be thinking, this isn't a long race – the record is 45 minutes – i.e. the 7 Hills might not be what you think! All will be revealed on the evening. RSVP if you are coming so you can be sure of getting a map!

Apres run event is a curry – subject to demand. I am hoping to book places at the Rajput at the top of the road but I need to know how many are coming, so IF YOU WANT A CURRY AFTERWARDS, RSVP (timtett_at_ttpca.force9.net)

The Club Championships were held on Saturday 10th December at Concord Park.  It was a very cold day, but at least there wasn't snow on the ground like last year.  The format was a handicap score-type event (controls in any sequence) with each competitor given a target number of controls

The new club champions are Philip Wiegand (junior – very closely followed by his brother Adam), Gemma Tate (w) and Kevin Randall (m).  More details on the event page.

These photos just after the mass start and of Gemma finishing were taken by Ray Waight. Some more photos taken by Chris Littler can be seen on the photo page (go to the 'Members area' menu item and select 'Photos').
