Thanks to all who came to Tay's Easter Egg O on Easter Sunday. This is our second Easter Egg O and the format seems popular with children, although some of the competitors on the longer courses didn't think the chocolate/ running combination worked!
We had about 50 people in total which was a good turnout for a local event, and were pleased to welcome an interntational visitor from Latvia. There was a good TAY turnout, and it was great to see so many newcomers to the sport, some of whom had tried the sport at the Perthshire schools championships events.
The mix of using SI units and permanent markers made it much easier for me as I knew I'd be home late on the Saturday so wouldn't want to get up early on the Sunday to put out loads of controls. The extra SI units extended the green and blue courses a bit and meant people got to visit some of the beautiful woodcarvings on Kinnoull.
Next time I organise an event though I'll keep the clear unit and start unit several metres away from the finish unit so no-one punches the clear at the end by mistake! Luckily the competitor had timed himself with a watch.
Many thanks to Moira for all her help during the event and also to Dave and Paul.
Angela Dixon, organiser
