The maps will be double sided A3 on Xerox Nevertear paper (yes we have found a way to keep the print on the paper) none of this daft stuff where you have to take out a mortgage for a 2nd map - all pairs will get two maps.. but please if you lose one don't come begging. You will get the maps at 21.30 on the Saturday..

Any questions

OK we have put together a list of commonly asked questions from previous years, as new ones are asked we will add them to the list you can find them here.
