Hi all,

The final results of the 2015/6 MDOC Night Street League will soon be on the MDOC website:
http://www.mdoc.org.uk/results/nightstreetleague2015-16results.htm

As in previous years, Peter Ross and Jillyan Dobby are putting on a final event at which prizes for the 2015-16 series will be presented.
The event will be held on Thursday 3rd March, and Peter has provided the following information:

The event will be held in Urmston based at the Moss Vale. This is a large friendly pub next to J9 on the M60.
Address: The Moss Vale, 133 Lostock Road, Urmston, M41 0TA (SJ 772 956).  It has a large car park. The landlord will set aside an area for us to register, eat, drink and applaud the League and Cup champions of the NSL 2015-16 season.

Reiss, the chef, is rightly proud of his own recipe selection of burgers. He has prepared a special menu for us. It would make it easier for him if he knew in advance how many beef-burgers, chicken burgers, fish and chips, or vegetarian meals he is likely to be asked to prepare. Please have a look at the attached menu and indicate your preference when ordering your map.

Jillyan and I have prepared a 1:10,000 Cup Special landscape map for the event. We wanted to maximise legibility and take advantage of the more complex parts of Urmston adjoining the pub. All the controls will be worth 10 points. Everyone will be given 60 minutes. The time penalties are quite severe and equate to two controls per minute. The idea is to provide everyone with an incentive to get back in time for the presentation ceremony.
Thanks to the marvels of modern statistical analysis every runner will be given a handicap based on their previous runs during the season. It is this that will be applied in a time honoured fashion to determine the Cup Winner (after your run of course!). The winner of the event on the night will be presented with the Hydrant Trophy.


Other prizes (about 10 of them!) - based on positions in various categories in the final league tables will also be presented on the night.



So ............. I do hope you will be able to come along. It promises to be an enjoyable finale to the season.


To reserve your map, please drop me an email by midnight on Friday 26th February (maps printed over the weekend), and, as indicated above, your orders from the menu.


Looking forward to a massive response.


Cheers


Grahame
