Burley and Bratley

By Nick Bosbury , 13 January, 2019

Thank you to all those who competed and helped at today's event. I hope you enjoyed your day out in the New Forest! A good turnout, dry weather and the addition of theInter-Servicess Championships made for a worthwhile and successful event. Mention should go to controller Chris Huthwaite for his assistance and planner Simon Bevan for his excellent courses. The computing team is the unsung side to an event and I am grateful to Jerry Newcombe for his input on and prior to the day.

An unseasonably dry Forest coupled with competition from runners in the Inter-Services Championships gave rise to some fast times. Whatever course you were on I hope you found them challenging over typical New Forest woodland and heath.

David Jukes has kindly posted photos of today's event and may be viewed here.

Routegadget is available so please draw on your routes.

SOC's next event in the Forest is on 9th February at Denny West, but prior to that, there is a Wessex Night League Event on 31st January.

BBC South to cover the CATI at IVCP

By Pete Davis , 12 January, 2019

Exciting news! BBC South will be at our Come and Try It (CATI) event at Itchen Valley Country Park next Saturday, 19th January. We are putting on the event as part of the IVCP launch of the new permanent courses. The BBC are keen to cover two aspects, how people can get started with the sport and what it can lead to - the competitive aspect of orienteering that we all love. Along with the CATI (based on the new permanent courses) we'll be putting on a short head-to-head sprint for club members. Please let me know if you'd like to take part: peter.davis [at] ymail.com (peter[dot]davis[at]ymail[dot]com).

We are currently advertising the event on Facebook. If you are a Facebook user it would be great if you could go to the event page and say that you are going - it makes the event more attractive to newcomers if it shows a good few people are attending.
