THE
OTMOOR CHALLENGE & FETE
|
THE 32nd OTMOOR CHALLENGE – SATURDAY,
4th. JUNE, 2011.
INFORMATION FOR WALKERS
Courses are set
around the tracks, roads and footpaths of Otmoor, an area of outstanding
natural beauty. Situated just seven miles from the centres of Bicester
and Oxford, Otmoor enjoys unique flora and fauna and a long history dating
back to Roman Britain.
The Challenge starts and finishes on the Playing Field at Horton-cum-Studley
– as usual a traditional Village Fete will be open as an added attraction.
Again this year a shorter route of five miles is offered to walkers as
an alternative to the more challenging half-marathon thirteen miles. Maps
are provided for clearly-marked courses; refreshments and First Aid are
at all checkpoints.
Once you have registered with starting officials on the field between
9 a.m. and 12 noon (refreshments will be available from 10.30 a.m.) you
may start the walk whenever you like. Please note that checkpoints will
not be in place before 9 a.m. On your return to the registration desk
you will be awarded a specially designed badge as a memento of the event.
Walkers every year agree that the Otmoor Challenge is a most pleasant
way to raise money for their favourite charities.
You can either be sponsored – and get your friends and family to
give support – or pay a £5 entry fee on the day. A special
Sponsorship Form may be downloaded from the link on the Home Page for
you to complete if you are being sponsored. When you have completed the
walk ask the official on the field to stamp your form and then collect
your money and send the total as soon as possible (not later than the
end of July) to:
Julie Ogden, Home Close, Horton-cum-Studley, Oxford. OX33 lAW. (Tel:
01865-358993)
Groups should send in the total amount through the leader named on the
registration card. Cheques should be made payable to 'The Otmoor Challenge
Association'. 20% will be deducted from your total sponsorship money of
£30 or more. These deductions contribute to the costs of the event
and local charities.
If you wish to present a cheque personally to your nominated charity please
inform Julie Ogden when sending in your money and a cheque for your charity
will be sent to you.
We hope you will take part and have an enjoyable day.
