Overview
A Fun Festive Family Frolic
This is going to be amazing fun! (oh no it isn't!)
Yes it is! Really exciting! (oh no it isn't!)
There'll be mulled wine and hot sausages! (now you're talking)
This event has a score format
This event requires you to visit as many controls as you can (in any order) within 45 minutes in order to solve some pantomime questions. You do not need to know the pantomime plots but knowing the names of the characters is pretty important.
Individuals or teams can enter. Every person gets a map and teams can stay together or split up in order to get more control visits in the allotted 45 minutes. Scores will be calculated from the number of successfully answered questions. However points will be deducted if any of the team returns after more than 45 minutes.
No dibbers are required for this event, but you will want to have a watch!
