There will be no club nights in January and February 2011.

The committee will consider what format future club nights will take at the January meeting. Any suggestions, improvements or other comments are welcome. Please submit them to Andrew Nash by January 10th 2011.

This week you can have a go at adding some detail to the School grounds and surrounding area of streets, with a view of using the updated map for a fun event early in the New Year!

Also bring along your recent event maps to discuss and air your views on the future of our sport

You may have already seen in the external news the British Orienteering announcement of the events that will count towards the UK Masters Cup for 2011.

It seems that the Caddihoe Chase has been selected ahead of the November Classic, even though the Classic was listed in the draft document from British Orienteering.

When this was queried the official response was that a great deal of lobbying had taken place to include the Caddihoe Chase, at a direct expense of the November Classic. Considering the November Classic has the largest number of participants in the relevant age classes for the Cup outside of BOC and JK, this is very disappointing, and indicates that British Orienteering hold the Caddihoe Chase in higher regard, as an orienteering competition.
