Demise of the SROC message board

The old SROC phpbb message board has fallen into disuse over the last year or so but was still available until today. It has been taken off line after multiple spam attacks and several hundred bogus users managing to break through security. As an alternative the link at the top of the home page has now been changed to take users direct to the SROC Facebook group, which has hosted a number of lively discussions of late.

North West Night League

Revised details of the North West Night League have been published, with some venue changes. All is now in place for a great opening event to the series on Traitor's Gill this Saturday.

SROC success at the British schools orienteering last weekend

Teams from the Lancaster grammar schools traveled together to Delamere forest on Sunday. A few had competed the previous day for the world schools selection race. At that event Laurence Johnson   finished in 4th place. Well done.
On the Sunday the girls went for quality over quantity. They only had full teams in 2 year groups and came first in year 11 and third in year 9. Individually Zoe won by 12 minutes in year 13 and Helen was 3rd in year 11.
The boys came first in year 9 and 4th in years 7 and 8.
Laurence Johnson had a tremendous run coming 2nd in the year 10 boys but no others from his school were running
