The Maypole 2007 was held on Saturday 12th May. The report and results can be found in the Previous Results section.

New OS Landranger Map for Luton and Hertford

In 2006 Ordnance Survey published an updated edition (C3) of Sheet 166 and we will be using this edition to set out the event. We recommend that teams also use this edition as it includes changes to several major roads.
