Tilgate + YBT SE HeatSun 03 March, 2019

Pre event info

Another opportunity to run around this lovely park and wood. Entries are now open on Fabian4.

This event also incorporates the qualifying heat for the Yvette Baker Trophy, a national junior orienteering competition, named after Britain's first World Orienteering Champion. Juniors of every ability can run on courses from Yellow to Green, with less confident juniors able to run in a pair with another junior. Every run counts, so this is a great time to get involved and compete for your club. Entries for the junior competition are via your club captain.

Yvette Baker Trophy Qualifying Heat for juniors - entry via your club captain

This year the competition divides into two separate categories for larger and smaller clubs. The Yvette Baker Trophy is for larger clubs and requires 9 juniors to make a team. The Yvette Baker Shield, held at the same event, is for smaller clubs and requires only 5 juniors to make a team.

In the South-East, clubs divide as follows:

YB Trophy: GO, HH, SLOW, SAX, SN, SO

YB Shield: CHIG, DFOK, HAVOC, LOK, MV

It would be great to get as many teams as possible participating this year and celebrate junior orienteering in the South East.

Our South East Junior Squad is performing very strongly these days, so we all need to match this and do our best to develop junior orienteering in our clubs as well. The Yvette Baker event gives a good opportunity to rally the troops and offers an excellent team experience to juniors and families at all levels of experience. We would like to challenge every SE club to try and raise a team this year and come along to the event on 3rd March.
