BOF age classes
Age classes are used for
Badge Event and higher events; the age you become in the current calendar
year is your age class for that year. Hence you stay in one age class from
January to December.
E.g. My birthday is in March and I shall be 40 so I am W40 from Jan 1st to
Dec 31st.
IOF pictorial control descriptions
The most important columns to worry about are C, D and G:
C - for example, you
know that you're looking for a clearing (column D tells you this) but there
are two shown in the control circle on the map - this column shows
that it's the southeastern-most one you're looking for
D - shows which feature you're looking for - here's a
quick list of the
common ones
G - as it's quite a large clearing this column shows you that the control
flag is located in the western corner (it could equally show which side of a
knoll to look or whether it's the foot or top of a crag you're after for
example)

BENNACHIE SATURDAY EVENTS
Get yourself
over to Bennachie once a month for the
Bennachie/FCS Saturday Events for
a bit more practice.
CIRCUIT TRAINING ON MONDAYS
As the light nights arrive,
the weekly training sessions move from indoor to outdoors. As of Monday 5th
May,
Anna
will lead an hour long session involving a warm up & interval sessions,
finishing with a run back to the car park (choose your own distance and pace)
and warm-down. Meet at Foggieton (FC car
park at
NJ 870 181)
ready for a 7:30pm start.
NB This is a change from our usual venue at Countesswells woods as these are
closed due to Forestry operations, however we may return there in the future.
