Results of Local event at Perth Parks th September 2006

Organiser - Felicity Martin.

The club has four Perth Parks maps and this event used them all. The short course was on the east bank of the Tay on the adjoining 'Rodney Gardens & Bellwood Park' and 'Norrie Miller Riverside Walk' maps. The medium course also visited the North Inch and the long course added the South Inch into the challenge.

As a Score event with quiz-style questions instead of control flags, the event required careful observation. The answers were multiple-choice so that legible writing wasn't required, just a circle round the correct answer. Some of the trickier questions caught out the competitors – only Bill Melville (on the short course) came back with a clean sheet.

With a disappointing turnout, the "social" afterwards was quite an intimate affair with only four of us at the meal. There was only any competition on the medium course, where Robert Thornton proved best at matching the organiser's devious mind.

Dave Prentice was a deserved winner on the long course, even though there were no other contenders. He scraped back in with 30 seconds to spare and visited all the controls, including the special bonus control. To earn the 50 points he first had to discover the location of the control, as it wasn't marked on any of the master maps!
