Hollywood Orienteering and Barbecue

The final CNOC summer evening orienteering event is in Hollywood village in Co. Wicklow next Tuesday 17th June.
Directions: from the N81 10km south of Blessington (at the Emo garage) turn East on the R756 toweards Wicklow Gap.  About 1/2 km up this road turn left, parking and Registration are just here outside Tutty's pub.  Road signage from the N81 junction.
Orienteering start times 18:00 to 19:30.  Courses close at 20:30.
Don has planned two courses:
Adventure - 3 km fairly easy course with some sections in the forest.  There'll be a 2.5 km version of this course suitable for buggies.
Score - get as many controls as possible in 50 minutes.  Score 10 points per control, penalty 10 points per minute or part minute over 50 mins.  No bonus for getting to all the controls but it should be possible...

We will have our usual near-midsummer barbeque at Tutty's pub after the orienteering, and the prize-giving for the Summer Evening League.  The league table is at http://tinyurl.com/qc9tz4g.

You can just arrive and register on the evening, but it makes things much easier for the organisers if you pre-register to enter HERE.  Pre-registration closes as midday on Tuesday.
Please let us know in advance if you are bringing a group.
