Also in line with the latest guidelines the follow rules will apply to the Compass Sport Cup competition:

o              There is no limit to the number of runners a club may field

o              Any competitor may run up a class or classes, but not a course. Women may run as men

o              Shadowing of juniors is not permitted; even on the basis that the junior will be disqualified if the shadower has to help. This is deemed to be against the spirit of the competition and not allowed.

o              Start times will be allocated to ensure a gap of at least 9 minutes between club members on each course

o              Club only members may take part in the competition even if they are not BOF members.

If approaching from the south be aware that station entrance is a sharp left turn immediately after crossing the railway bridge. The assembly area is in the car park and Start and Finish within 200m.
