National Development Conference
Peter Brooke (England Development Officer) has asked me to draw your attention to British Orienteering's National Development Conference taking place on 11-12th January 2020 at YHA National Forest near Burton on Trent. Details of the packed agenda can be found on the British Orienteering website. If anyone wishes to attend, treasurer [at] socweb.org (let me know) as the club may be able to help cover costs.

On Sunday the Currie family headed up the M3 to Black Park, near Slough, for the British Schools Orienteering Association Championships. The courses are typically easier than the children would normally expect to run for their age class. Duncan whizzed round his white course in 11 minutes and Emma taking just a little longer for her yellow. With most of the area out of bounds, we went for a walk around the lake and had some lunch whilst waiting for the rest of the field to finish. Unfortunately, Duncan was just pushed out of the medals to finish fourth with Emma coming in a creditable ninth. It was great to see so many children participating in the event with SYO bringing down two coachloads from schools in their area!
The next Club MapRun is on Tuesday 26th November at 7pm. This time we'll be using a 1:5000 "PseudO" map - it looks a bit like ISSOM but drawn automatically from Open Street Map data. The 45 minute score will take you to parts of Romsey you won't have been before and all under the town's Christmas lights.
