Only Trojan work by alot of club members made this event possible.~i9ht of us took four hours on the Thursday before the event top=~~3rk and wrap th~ maps. Due to the irregular cutting of the mapmar;in the registe= was slightly off on mc~t maps, and about 130~aG to be thrcwn Gut. Th~s rEsulted in a net loss of £5 fo= the event.~clly~QLd 6~viously nee~s revision and probably should not have been~ssd for ~he Na~ional Championships. The winning margins in aal classes,howevs=, were clear. The relay is the most difficult 2vent to organis8.anc the next cl~~ to try should be wcrned to ~lan the actual runningc n tile t)ay very c a r e f uLl.y , Our event,being run by only 3 people/ was
c b~t Ch20ti~ a~ times.
