November Classic 2025 Results

By Pete Davis , 12 October, 2025

Thank you to everyone who took part in this year's November Classic, coping admirably with the change of month! Your continued support is extremely appreciated, and I hope that you had a great day in the forest.

There was a lot of positive feedback about Iain Robinson's courses, which I hope you all enjoyed. A big thank you to Iain, his assistant planner, Bob Norley, and the forest team for all their efforts, particularly over the last two days.

We all know that these events take a lot of volunteer effort, and once again, a host of SOC members stepped up to the mark to deliver a first-class service. We had help from outside of the club as well: thanks to Controller, Charles Daniel BOK, for all his guidance and support over the last few months. Thanks to the jury members, Gordon Parker, Julie Cleary and Ronan Cleary for giving up your time on yet another event! To James Crickmore WSX and Tim Houlder WSX for helping us with their SportIdent expertise - we would really struggle without your help and technical know-how. And thank you to clubs WSX, TVOC and SLOW for the loan of SportIdent kit.

My final thank you is to Julia Loring, Assistant Organiser. Thank you for keeping me on track, remembering all those little details that passed me by, and for your diligence and dedication in running the Event Centre.

Here are the results:

Thanks for the Oct/Nov classic. Great effort. Joe House SO

Well done all for an excellent event today. Seemless organisation, excellent courses and good weather. What more could you want? Many thanks, Carol and Ian Prosser BAOC

Thank you for the very efficient execution of this event, right from parking, technology, course mapping and planning, to results collation and dissemination. The whole team did well. And I enjoyed the event. Thanks, so much, Duncan Liddle NGOC

Thanks very much for a super Nov Classic event today!   Keiko & I both really enjoyed the courses & terrain, a new area for us.   Please pass on thanks to Iain for great planning with some challenging route choices.  Can we put in a supportive plea for the idea of holding Nov Classic in October?  Everything is better!  Perhaps this great annual event from SOC could become the October or Autumn Classic?

Firstly, the plaudits go to Bob, for his patience and resilience during the planning phase and his ability to organise a Forest Team that excelled in the setting up and waking up before the event.

Next comes the Forest Team who gave up Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning to make it all possible, with out your help Bob and I would have been very ….

My gratitude also goes to Mark and his mapping team for persevering with my view of the map, which didn’t always agree with his.

Finally, I would like to thank Terry for his considerable input to the planning phase and for teaching me all about Condes.
