Wessex Motor Club

27th Annual Summer Scatter, Sunday 11th May 2008

This event will start at Broadlands Road Car Park (196/427155, just off Burgess Road Traffic lights by STR), and finish at The Milburys pub. The event will once again follow the tried and tested format of the previous few years.

Signing on will be from 14:30, with the start at 15:00 and finish at 20:00, although people will begin to arrive at the pub from around 6, so those who do not want to compete are encouraged to come down to the Milbury's for the evening, where food will be available. The Milbury's can be contacted on (01962) 771248.

The event will be entirely on map 185, which will be on sale at the start. 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.

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.

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.....
