Conyngham Hall 2nd June (Yvette Baker Trophy heat and regional event)

Claro are delighted to host the Yorkshire and Humberside heat of the Yvette Baker Trophy at Conyngham Hall in Knaresborough on Sunday 2nd June. Older competitors are also welcome for the regional event and this is very suitable for novice orienteers.

The area is an attractive park by the River Nidd with fields and some woodland. There are plenty of paths for the less technical courses and some trickier areas in the woods for more experienced orienteers. There is car parking in the park (cost £1.80 for 2 hours, £3 for 4 hours) but best to arrive early as it can get quite busy. There is on-street parking 10 minutes away.

We will have a white course in addition to the four Yvette Baker courses: yellow, orange, light green and green. Please see the official rules on the British Orienteering website for course eligibility.

After their competitive run children will be allowed (and encouraged!) to do another course for free. Start times will be 10.30 till 12.00 and courses close 1pm. Please start early if you might take more than an hour or wish to run twice.

Entries will be opened at Racesignup in May. If clubs wish to pay the entry fees for their team members, Yvette Baker team captains should contact the Claro treasurer (treasurer@claro-orienteering.org.uk) who will assign them a payment code which team members can use to enter the event in Racesignup.   We will then invoice the club for their team’s entries. They will need to pass on a Racesignup code to their competitors.
