The session will start at 10.30am, finish about 1.00pm,  and will be run by Michael Chopping our Club Coach.Catton Park

    Organiser’s Comments

    Our return to UEA and Earlham Park was again blessed with fabulous weather and I hope everyone enjoyed the event as much as I did. The great benefit of organising is that you get to spend time chatting to people, and it was lovely to meet lots of new people experiencing their first orienteering event. I hope it gave you an appetite  for our wonderful sport. You will be very welcome at all our upcoming events and don’t forget that Michael Chopping is holding a training event later in the month – contact him via the website to book a place.

    Huge thanks to everyone who volunteered their help and made it run so smoothly, John Rushmer for planning on an area which is trickier than it looks, and to Alan Bedder in his unofficial role of Controller.

    Planner’s Comments

    This event was held at the same area as last year with the same restrictions caused by the river crossings and the need to avoid very public areas so the course structures and some controls could have been familiar to some. Hopefully this was not often the case, although the new sites of the pit in Cringleford woods and the distinctive tree on the steep slope apparently did provide bigger challenges. Comments received and results seem to suggest that the courses were generally enjoyed and appropriate even though the recent warm and wet weather had resulted in sudden excessive nettle growth.
    Many thanks to Alan Bedder for his helpful controlling role, especially for the map updating work caused by the many map changes both long short term.

  • SOS Relays

    The SOS Relays, an annual handicap based relay event, is due to be held at Wivenhoe Park near Colchester on 12th July 2015. Four person teams compete over a number of lengths of courses on a handicap basis, so a good mix of ages/sexes is essential to each team’s make up.

    If you are interested in taking part please contact Chairman – Mick Liston as soon as possible via the Contact Form
