Entries are now open on Racesignup for the club's first Summer Series event of 2023, to be held at Stoke Park Woods, Bishopstoke, on Sunday 7th May. There will be three courses on offer: a Yellow, Orange, and Score, with the Score including a few controls in the surrounding urban area. The event will use the free MapRun app for punching, scoring, and results, but otherwise will run like a normal event (you'll be issued with a map and there will be controls hung). Help will be available for anyone new to orienteering. The plan is to offer entry on the day but we do have a competitor limit so enter in advance if you want to avoid disappointment!

It is time to get your Spring running suits on as the Spring/Summer league begins at sunrise this Friday in Oliver's Battery, Winchester. You have 14 days to complete the run but if you would like to meet others, please come along to the start at 6.30pm on Thursday 27th April with the social event starting at 7.30pm after the run. For further details and to download the map, visit the event page.

It was great to see so many SOC members all in one place on Sunday. Many thanks to Sarum for their choice of weather and some great scenic courses. Please see the attachment for the list of trophy and spot prize winners. Congratulations to you all and hope you can make the presentation at the AGM this Friday 24th March in Crosfield Hall Annex at 7.30.
