The Summer Scatter is a 5 hour daylight navigational scatter, set specifically as a fun and light-hearted event that everybody can enjoy, and is contained entirely on OS Landranger map 185 (which will be available if needed at the start).

The event will start at Broadlands Road Car Park (196/427155, just off Burgess Road, in the large gravel car park near to University of Southampton Highfield campus), and finish at The Hinton Arms pub.

It will take place on Sunday 2nd May with signing on from 14:00, with the start at 15:00. The finish time is 20:00, although people will begin to arrive at the pub from around 19:00, so those who do not want to compete are encouraged to come down to The Hinton Arms for the evening, where food will be available until 21:00. The Hinton Arms can be contacted on 01962 771252.

There will be three different classes running: Beginners, Novices and Experts, with awards presented to the top in each class.

We would like to see as many people out as possible, past, present and possible future WMC members, although you are reminded that this is primarily a FUN event - anyone taking it too seriously will be laughed at, and probably soaked!

Some things you might need:

A Driver (you or a friend)
A Navigator (a friend or you)
Some passengers - optional, but they can be helpful in solving clues etc.
A car! (ideally with a full tank before the start
Some soft pencils (2B)
A rubber
A calculator

For anyone new to motorsport, this page describes what a Scatter is, and for how you do one, take a look at this quick guide here. For further details, contact the committee.

A romer and a map will be available to purchase at the start. It is also recommended to have a full tank of fuel, but there will be plenty of time to get fuel during the event.

Don't worry if you've never seen a map or plotted references before, there will be plenty of experts on hand to help and explain things, with no shortage of anecdotes of how not to do it.....

The finals, and all details given on the website with regards to the Wessex Motor Club's 29th annual Summer Scatter event are provisional and subject to change by the officials.
