Compass Sport Cup correction to team scores

I am indebted to Roger Jackson of WCOC for double-checking my calculations, which had to be done manually after a software problem yesterday. All results are confirmed except that I had credited MDOC with an extra score, so their total reduces and LOC move into 2nd place. Please look over the Club Results and Individual Results. Chris Roberts

Congratulations to WCOC and BL!

Team results for the NW Compass Sport Cup and Trophy round at Farleton Knott are: Cup 1st WCOC, 2nd MDOC, 3rd LOC. Trophy 1st BL, 2nd PFO, 3rd BARRO. More detail may be viewed on the event page. (Apologies for the result being declared incorrectly for a short time).

There was another good turnout at the final Street League event of the 08-09 season at Lancaster South, followed by the series prizegiving. Karen Nash (pictured right with Club Captain Sarah Watkins) carried off the overall winner's trophy, along with best female and the Blackpool Tower trophy. Best male was Steve Lang, top pair were Katrin & Zoe Harding and best newcomer: Chris Reade. More pictures in the Gallery, RouteGadget is ready to go and full results, league tables and a list of all prizewinners will follow soon. Thanks to Glenys Ferguson for coordinating the series.

Farleton Knott CSC/CST start list

A start list for Sunday's event has now been published. Please note that there are many entries which have important details missing. Club captains have been asked to supply these, but if you spot any mistakes or missing details please email cscentries@sroc.org . This does not extend to changes in start times since the start list is very full and adequate separation between club members has been difficult to achieve.

Farleton Knott details & control descriptions

Course details and terrain notes etc have been added to the Farleton Knott page, where there is also a link to the control descriptions. Club entries for the Compass Sport Cup and Trophy matches for this event on 15th March should be in to Sarah Watkins by Friday 6th March. EOD will be available for all courses, but try to arrive early as we expect demand to be heavy for this brand new orienteering area, and start slots will be limited.

The tension mounts!

With only one more event to go in the Night Street League, we can publish the league tables after event 9. There's sure to be another record turnout at the final event in Lancaster on 11th March as regulars try to gain a few more points. If you've never tried Street-O and wonder what all the fuss is about, why not come along and have a go?

BOC relays and photos

Maybe it was too far for some club members this year, but all the same there was a good SROC presence at BOC and thanks to Karen & Bob Nash and Andy Quickfall we can see a good number of them in action. View their photos in the BOC 2009 Gallery. Many stayed on for the relays; results are here.
