Yvette Baker Trophy again

Apologies to the many people wondering when the Yvette Baker Trophy North West qualifier will take place (see 29.07.07 news item below). It will be on Sunday 21st October 2007. If you want to know more about how the YBT works, visit this page on the British Orienteering website.

Top SROC veterans selected!

England selections for the Veteran Home Internationals were announced today. Congratulations to Julian Lailey, selected in the M60 class, and to Quentin Harding who is reserve in M45.

Important note to all 6 days competitors

Everyone should by now have received their programs and bibs, showing start times. You should also have received a letter explaining an error with these times. This affects all bibs, so if you haven't received the letter, look at it on the Scottish 6 Days website.

Yvette Baker Trophy advance warning

It may seem a long way off now, but our Club Captain Sarah Watkins is right to give advance warning of the North West qualifier for the Yvette Baker Trophy, the national club competition for juniors. We need a good junior turnout so make sure this event is in your diary: BL District Event

O-zone website launched!

A new website created to support the Lancaster O-zone was officially launched today, after undergoing testing over the last two weeks. Some of the O-zone pages are already linked into the SROC website, but you won't necessarily notice this as the two sites are of similar appearance. You can visit the O-zone at any time by clicking on the O-zone logo on the right.
