Organiser’s Comments

It’s a relief to be home and writing this. As a first-time Organiser I’ve had my concerns about how things would work today, but it’s gone well, and we have seen lots of happy and wet people in the woods.

The standout piece for me is just how essential our team is. We need a good number of volunteers (maybe 25?) to effectively run an event like this. We’re very fortunate to have plenty of experience which allows the Organiser to effectively delegate. That said, it’s clear that we need more people involved to ensure that we don’t burden the usual few. Something to ponder.

There’s plenty of thanks for me to offer. Firstly, to our Planner, Peter, for his courses. It’s not a five-minute job putting courses together, and it certainly seems that they were well received. Jonathan’s map rework has really helped Peter and I know how essential it is. Again, this can go unnoticed, but it mustn’t. Paul has made the event easier with his approach to Controlling and I thank him for his help. It’s been good to have another steady hand keeping us moving in the right direction.
Pat Bedder just appeared this morning and (with help from a few others) just got Registration sorted with her usual efficiency. Kimothy was a great help setting up starts and taking that part of the puzzle away from me. The others on the Start team (not all expecting to do a stint!) and our car park team are more essential pieces of the puzzle. Dan is another consistent on SI – every event, taking the time, and getting the job done wonderfully with the help from a few trusted generals. And those who (thankfully) volunteered to help with control collection – a late finish for them. The Committee has been involved in various ways (mostly behind the scenes) and my thanks to them for the support.

We have a great club and can offer some great events. With everyone helping in some way we can ensure this continues and that we’re able to offer more and/or better. Thanks to all of you who volunteer your time. It really is appreciated.

Organiser’s Comments

Thanks to everyone who attended today’s event – especially those who helped at the event and prior to the day.

I hope you enjoyed Paul’s courses and didn’t get too lost.

As we were setting up the registration we were welcomed by many dogs and their owners, this was then closely followed by a group of people with very large remote-controlled vehicles, this was definitely not on my risk assessment!

I thought we had covered all bases but then I was informed there were elves, fairies, witches and wizards gathering on the Gurney Road carpark! Only in Norfolk. I hope none of you got caught up in their game.

Controller’s Comments

Despite this event first being scheduled for October 2020 (which of course never actually happened), everything ended up seeming a bit rushed in the end.

Mousehold is a challenging little area with a host of potential control sites and Paul puts a lot of thought and effort into his planning, but that often means that there are some last-minute changes.  There were a couple of administrative errors, probably because I wasn’t checking things diligently enough, but I hope that this did not mar the event too much.

Karen did a great job liaising with the Council and the Mousehold Defenders so the event could go ahead as well as rallying all the volunteers needed for a successful event.  Luckily the recent wildfires did not affect the courses significantly and it was great that it was dry on the day, and all seemed to go okay.

A glorious summer’s day greeted visitors to NOR’s ‘informal’ Bacton Wood event where an Orange & 60 minute Score course were on offer in an event Organised & Planned by Karen & Paul Goldsworthy.

A few photos from the day

This was NOR’s last event before the summer break, we return on Sunday 4th September with an event at Mousehold Heath, Norwich – details will be hosted here closer to the time.

Wednesday 20th July will also be the last of the ‘organised’ Wednesday evening gatherings before summer (a Map Run at Wymondham, followed by a natter (optional!), 18:30 for 18:45 start, more details should be posted to the Facebook Group a little closer to the day), but check out Jamie’s post in the same Group for plans to arrange informal meet ups through the holiday season.

Organiser/Planner’s Comments will be coming soon, please do check back.
