This run has purposely been made with a twist.  In a nutshell your team will be tasked with visiting as many of the places that appear on the standard London version of Monopoly.

On arriving at a property you have to phone into the Monopoly Control. You will be advised whether you can buy the property, or if another team got there before you.  If so your team will have to pay rent. Every time you phone in you will also have a chance to pick a Chance or Community chest card which may or may not help you. On your route round you also have the chance to earn some extra cash in a quiz. The winner is the team that has the most amount of money at the end of the day.

It is an enormously fun day that requires tactics, determination and stamina, and is open to Scouts, Explorers, Network, Leaders and Parents. In the past we have even had teams from SAS groups participating.

The run will be happening on the 3rd March 2012, starting at 9:00am or 9:30am (Dependant on whether you start from London Waterloo, or join us at Lord Amory in London Docklands). Teams will then have until 5:00pm to do the run, then make their way back to the Lord Amory for dinner and to find out the final results.

The cost for this event depends on the tier that you would like to go on, below is a break down of the tiers.

P.S. There are limited spaces on Tier 2 and we do give some priority to our own district, but if you need accommodation we do know of a couple of other locations that you can use, please contact me for more info.

It would be great to have a few teams from the London area joining in with us this year.
