Putting out controls today …

Putting out controls today (Saturday) found why Forestry England and Natural England asked competitors to avoid climbing over dead fallen trees because of the fungi present. I have photographed a log that is within 5m of a control site. Pictures are in under a news item. So please respect this request.

Inter Club competition - Run for SOC

Profile picture for user Di Smith
By Di Smith , 10 September, 2019

 

Orienteering is mostly seen as an individual sport and there are very few opportunities for members to 'run for their club' - Compass Sport Cup and occasional relays - and yet many members like the idea of representing or running for their club. However the SCOA league has recently introduced an inter-club competition, so now there are more local opportunities to do just that  - run for your club. There are 8 colour courses/classes to choose from at each event, from White to Brown. The scoring has been devised to encourage participation: the more club members that complete a course, the higher the points awarded to everyone. You can find the rules here https://www.scoa-orienteering.org.uk/content/scoa-league-rules-2018-19

There are 7 SCOA league events over the next few months, all but one within an hour's drive or closer, and all on good areas. For those further away, why not share transport with other club members!

Bucklebury, the first one, will be on an excellent area used by the longest courses at this year's JK, just east of Newbury. Fritham is on our doorstep. Sidbury is just north of Tidworth, NW of Andover. Wendover is the farthest, on the Chiltern hills near Aylesbury (about 100 miles), but a really good area and well worth the journey. Pamber is a little north of Basingstoke. The WIM event in Feb 2020 is back in the New Forest, so very close to home.

So let's see if we can have a really good turnout of SOC members at the SCOA League events this season.

Co-Organisers Comments

I think that was a decent start to the season; we had a great day, the weather was perfect, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and we had no issues other than a minor first aid incident to deal with.

Turn-out was greater than expected, with around 90 entrants enjoying the courses that Hugh had prepared for them.  We had precisely the required numbers of blue maps (well anticipated Hugh!).  For a level-D event early in the season that coincided with the last of the Wessex Summer League, it was pleasing to see such a good attendance.

I would like to thank again all the SOC members who helped out, without whom these events simply wouldn't happen, and who certainly made my first foray into event organisation an enjoyable experience.
