The 2004 Miglia Quadrato -
May 15th
For over forty years we have been running a unique event - the Miglia Quadrato. For those of you who may not have heard of it, this is a competitive motoring event held entirely within the City of London, with the full co-operation of the City of London Police. As a treasure hunt it is an exempt event - for which a certificate of exemption (number 23482) is issued by the MSA. We have approval to invite members of both recognised and unrecognised motor clubs and members of the public.Consequently, we are offering an invitation to 7Oaks members to enter. Regulations for this event are available electronically as a PDF file from your Competition Secretary Mark Dawson. Alternatively, if should you require paper copies please let me know.
The 2004 Miglia Quadrato on 15th May is the forty-fifth such event. It is unique in that it takes place entirely within the City of London. The challenge is to navigate on a 1:10000 map and to locate points to within a ten metre square - where the answer to a question should be sought. There are no cryptic or catch questions - but that is not to say the task is easy. Indeed, many seasoned crews return each year and competitors with full rally experience will be as challenged as those with no such experience. It truly is an event for all. A history of over forty years attests to that. With its accessibility to crews of up to six it can be a very enjoyable social event. But if you prefer the two-crew format there is a separate classification for this.
Every year we get entrants from around the country. The fact that many travel considerable distance and return each year is another indication of its appeal. We are looking forward to attracting another large entry - we appreciate your help with this.
