Summer Event

This year's summer event is on 30th June and will run from 1.30pm to 3.45pm at St. John's Methodist Church, Luton.

Please note that boys are expected to wear uniform for the Presentations. A tuck shop will be open during the afternoon.

The Anchors will be doing Sports, organised by Angela Hathaway.

Juniors, Company and Seniors will all be doing a Triathlon, organised by Andrew Burchell.

The competitions will be followed by Battalion Praise and presentation of the annual battalion trophies. Please advise the relevant organisers of the numbers of people taking part no later than Friday 29th June.

Anchors Sports Rules:

• 4 boys per team. Teams with more than 4 boys can have a different boy stand out for each game.
• Teams with <4 boys will have to get boys to run twice to make up to 4 boys.
• Companies are encouraged to enter more than one team. Please make sure the boys know which Company they belong to (would be helpful if they could wear a Company name sticker / ID)
• Every team's score counts. The winning Company will be the single team with the highest score.
• Total number of teams entering will be divided randomly into two groups by the organiser before 3rd July. Each event will be played twice, teams in Group A playing first, followed by Group B. Where possible Groups will be arranged so Companies entering more than one team will be represented in both Group A and Group B.
• As soon as each your team finishes they must sit down. The teams will be awarded positions only once sitting.
• The first four teams to finish and be sitting down after each event will be given points. 1st = 8 points, 2nd = 6 points, 3rd = 4 points, 4th = 2 points.
• Four judges will be appointed (volunteers required please) to decide on finishing positions.
• After every event boys finishing in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th position will be given card to give to Head Judge who will record result on master scoreboard.
• Event will be outside. Should there be very heavy rain we will be in the Church Hall.
• Games may be omitted depending on time (and if inside).

JS Triathlon Rules

Companies may enter as many teams of 3 boys as they like.  Teams of less than 3 boys will be at a severe disadvantage, but are still welcome to take part, or form mixed teams where numbers permit.

Please advise Andrew Burchell of the number of boys that you expect to be entering.

• The competiton consists of three events; skill, mental & stamina.
• For each event the teams will be ranked in order (so the 1st placed team gets 1 point, 2nd placed team gets 2 points and so on).
• The scores for each event are then added up to find out which team wins the overall event.

Skills

• Teams will demonstrate their skills at a variety of challenges, e.g. dribbling, shooting, throwing
• Details will be given out on the day
• All boys in a team do each activity & score points in accordance with the score card for the event

Mental

• Teams will be given a number word and number challenges based on the TV show "Countdown".

Stamina

• All boys take part in a run around a marked course (the run will take between 5 & 10 minutes if you run all of the way). At the end of the race boys will be handed a position card. This must then be taken to the scorer who will allocate the appropriate points to the teams. All finishing places will contribute to the scores. Any boys who fail to complete the course will come in joint last place. If a team has less than 3 boys, the "missing" boys will score as if they came in joint last place.

Company & Seniors Triathlon Rules

Rules are as for Juniors except:

• Company Section boys will compete in teams of 3.  Teams of less than 3 will be treated in the same way as for Juniors.
• Seniors will compete as individuals

Please advise Andrew Burchell of the number of boys that you expect to be entering.
