Entries for this year’s Apex Extreme Challenge open on Sunday and I will be submitting our team details first thing Monday morning. Cost will be £22.50 per person and you can pay online, or bring the money/cheque to me ASAP. So, get yourselves in to team of four, and work out the following:
- Your team name
- 4 x members’ names
- Your DOBs
- Your mobile numbers
- Your email addresses
…then head over to [THIS PAGE HERE] and enter it there.
If you haven’t done it by Sunday then I’m afraid your team won’t be entered. You have had 14 weeks to sort yourselves out!
If you still want to enter after Sunday then you’ll have to do it yourself, and get a parent to write you a cheque. You’ll also need access to a printer to print the email that you receive to confirm your entry.
Well done to our teams, coming 51st, 34th, 33rd and 19th out of the 69 Explorer teams taking part in the Apex Overnight Challenge! [Beating 3rd Hindley ESU
