Night Street League at the half-way stage

With 5 out of 10 events in the mail league completed we can start to see who might be on the podium in March. However, with your best five scores to count, there is still time to mount a campaign on those top spots! League tables may be viewed here. Meanwhile, the next event is at Morecambe next Wednesday, 5th January. Please read the details here and get your food requests in asap! Otherwise your choice of dish may be limited.

Street League Coordination

After 12 years I wish to make this my last series for coordinating the Winter Street League. Whilst I have very much enjoyed the role I am now in a situation where age and injury are catching up with me. My hip injury has prevented me taking part in any of the events so far in this series, whilst the injury is not, so far, preventing me continuing with my other interests, running, especially on roads, has not proved possible. For me taking an active part was a fundamental part of the coordinating role.

New Year Cracker 2022

Efforts to secure sufficient parking for this event at the original venue of Arnside Knott have proved fruitless. We will instead enjoy the challenges of Lancaster University campus to start the new year as we mean to go on! Entries are open now on SiEntries.

Eaves Wood Autumn Series Event

Over 60 orienteers joined SROC for the third autumn series event in Eaves Wood. Despite initially drizzly conditions, the day brightened during the event and ended up being a relatively mild December day. The limestone paths and outcrops around Eaves Wood generally give this area some orienteering 'character' and, in addition, the recent winter storms had created some additional features and taping for orienteers (and planners!) to work around. However, despite the additional challenges most competitors happily reported clear rounds. Thanks to all who participated today. Michael Hendry
