Street League events, 2nd & 16th February

Street Leaguers travelling to Darwen for the next event on 2nd February are warned to expect delays at roadworks on the A666. Comprehensive details for event number 9 in the series have been published. Competitors are advised to also view the Risk Assessment and Hazards Map.

Club trophy winners

After the handicap formalities were out of the way there followed an al fresco trophy presentation for the various club championships. The first trophy awarded was the newly created Dick Collins Trophy, named in honour of our sadly missed friend and stalwart of the club. This will be awarded to the person considered to have done the most on behalf of the club in the previous year, and for 2021 the well-deserved recipient is Martyn Roome. Other trophies:

Club Handicap, Lord's Lot Wood

A broad spectrum of orienteering experience was brought to bear on the fiendishly complicated collection of courses devised by Peter Moseley in the long awaited return to Lord's Lot. After a group of "non-competitive" runners the first official handicapped runner home was Ben Todhunter. Congratulations to him! Results and RouteGadget are available.

Torrisholme Turf event on Thursday 10th February

The third in the current series of Turf events will take place in Torrisholme, between Morecambe and Lancaster, from 19.00 on 10th February. This will be a "closed" event which means the organiser has to add you if you want to join in. For more information see these details.

Morecambe Street league event 5th January

Well done to everyone who ran the first street league event of the new year. Yes the temperature was just above freezing but with no wind or rain it felt warmer. A few people ran the event in much wetter conditions on Thursday so we have held off posting RouteGadget until now. Results are here.

Club Handicap 2022

This year's club handicap will be held in Lord's Lot Wood on Saturday 22nd January. Entry to this event is free, but is open only to SROC members and invited guests. Handicaps are devised so that anyone can win the prized Handicap Trophy. After the orienteering there will be a social gathering with Jacob's Join feast and the annual prize giving ceremony.

A cracking good start to the year!

Over one hundred orienteers, ranging from first-timers to ex national champions, battled it out around the Lancsaster University campus today, in weather that felt more like April. We apologise for the lack of live results on the day but the gremlins were well and truly at work on our IT equipment. Results are on-line here, and RouteGadget for the event is here.
