SROCkite.gif (2521 bytes) Great British Championships weekend for SROC


A strong contingent of SROC members made the long trip to Moray to compete in BOC 2008. Both individual and relay days took place in the very technical but mainly runnable terrain of Culbin Forest. Both days involved several controls in low visibilty forest on most courses; these proved the undoing of many. SROC has one BOC champion: Quentin Harding took 1st place in M45L. Top five places were recorded by Chris Nash (5th M14A), Dick Collins (2nd M60S), John Denmark (4th M60S), Maurice Collett (2nd M80), Annie Ockenden (4th W10A), Lisa Quickfall (2nd W14B), Katrin Harding (4th W16A) and Rebecca Quickfall (2nd W16B). After a convivial club dinner in a local hostelry nearly everyone reconvened on Sunday for the relays in a different part of the forest. Once again SROC was successful. The M14 team came in 1st after Chris Nash overcame a deficit of 44 seconds to finish well clear. The Mixed Ad Hoc team completed the medals haul by finishing in silver.
