September is seen by some as the start of a new orienteering season. For others, o never stops. Summer is the festival season, and over the past few weeks, NOR has been represented at o-ringen in Sweden as well as the Lakes 5-days, and some of us will be spending the bank holiday weekend at the White Rose in Scarborough. You’ll be able to hear more about these trips, and other highlights of the past 12 months in the upcoming NorNews.
So, what have we got to look forward to in the coming season? We’ve got weekly training around Norwich on Wednesday nights, monthly Sunday events around Norfolk, and potential trips further afield.

WinSplitsI never thought as an organiser of an orienteering event that I would have to write a post like this.
At yesterday’s event, Rodney Freeburn a club member for over 35 years was on his way to the start when he collapsed, luckily there were club members close by who offered assistance but despite their efforts and that of the ambulance crews and the air ambulance Rodney could not be revived.
I have spoken to Rodney’s wife, and she was very grateful to everyone who helped, and I passed on all our condolences.
Funeral arrangements to follow.Karen Goldsworthy
