Culbin Level 2 Event 13 June

[andypat]

Yes Eddie - but coming from an infamously manic depressive donkey, that may not be saying much......

[Sunlit Forres]

Moravian are delighted to announce that Glen Moray Distillery are presenting the winner of the Brown course at Culbin with a bottle of one of their top-end quality malts. The distillery manager, Graham Coull, a runner with Forres Harriers, has expressed interest in exploring possible sponsorship of Moray 2013 and will be at Culbin to get a flavour of our sport. He'll be a guest runner on the 'long orange'.

If running at Culbin isn't incentive enough in itself, I urge fast-running whisky connoisseurs to get your entries in now.

[frog]

Great, prizes are good, especially if not accompanied by a long prizegiving ceremony.

I urge fast-running whisky connoisseurs to get your entries in now.

People on shorter courses than brown enjoy a good whisky too, you know. In fact, short course runners probably consume and value it more, because they continually have the need to drown their sorrows post [attempted] O-runs.

Some people run shorter distances not because they are slow old gits (to coin a phrase from another thread) but because their technique is still developing.

[Sunlit Forres]

Not too sure what you're getting at here mappingmum. All I know is that as a result of publicity in the local press our guest has, at his own instigation, offered a prize to the top orienteer at Culbin and obviously wants to know more about what we do.

It's good that a major brand in Moray has shown some interest in our sport and I intend to make our guest very welcome. If we make the right impression, and if the 6-Day Company feels that sponsorship by a whisky company fits the right image, Moray 2013 might just turn in to the p***-up of the decade.

[rebbid]

That's the point of sponsership, associated with people we aspire to be, sold to the people we are. I'll drink to that.

[mappingmum]

Sorry, it was just intended to be a light hearted comment in response to your "fast running whisky conniseurs" phrase but perhaps I didn't quite reflect the in my prose.

IOF Rules

33. Advertising and sponsorship
33.1 Advertising of tobacco and hard liquor is not permitted.

[rocky]

Presumably the distillery does tours? So they are merely promoting a local tourist attraction rather than hard liquor? :p

Mr Niggli won a £120 bottle of Royal Lochnagar at Deeside 2005 and the distillery had their busiest ever day in terms of visitors:).

[andypat]

And Royal Lochnagar Special Resere now retails at over £200! What an investment.....

[Sunlit Forres]

We have 109 juniors out of the 220 or so pre-entries so this promises to be a great event for families. We're leaving on-line entries open til friday night for any last minute interest. We're expecting a lot of EOD and as there's a genuine risk of running out of maps, please don't rely on EOD to guarantee the course you want. With Eddie H down at Gosport I can vouch for the sanity of the event officials so it's quite safe to come.

I do realise this is a national forum so it's of limited interest to most of you, but I did want to make sure the word got out.
