Using a sample of 43 suitable local subdwarfs with newly acquired BVI _ { C } photometry , we apply our main sequence fitting method to the metal rich Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae .
Fitting in 2 colour planes , we find an apparent distance modulus of ( m - M ) _ { V } = 13.37 ^ { +0.10 } _ { -0.11 } , leading to a dereddened distance modulus of ( m - M ) _ { 0 } = 13.25 ^ { +0.06 } _ { -0.07 } .
Consideration of the Red Clump in the cluster produces a distance modulus fully consistent with this result .
The implied cluster age is 11 \pm 1.4 Gyr .
