North West Night League

As the nights draw in an orienteer's thoughts turn to the North West Night League. This season's league looks set to be one of the best yet, and once again we are delighted to report that it will be sponsored by Bright Bike Lights, with a selection of excellent prizes. Six events are currently planned:

SROC success at the LDMT (La Sportiva Lake District Mountain Trial)

SROC has strong connections with the Lake District Mountain Trial, the original navigational fell race. In the very first race in 1952 from the Old Dungeon Ghyll, Maurice Collett was 2nd and Maurice Dean was 4th. David and Miriam Rosen are currently the race organisers.

Ripley club nights

It is with regret that SROC are unable to continue to hold club nights at Ripley school on a Tuesday evening. The financial cost was too great for the numbers attending and many of those who did attend were non club members. SROC would like to thank Quentin, Julian and Mark for organising and running the sessions over the last few years.

British Middle Champs

SROC has two British Champions from the Middle Distance races in Staffordshire today. Miriam Rosen was 1st in W65 and Zoe Harding won W20. 2nd places went to Finlay Johnson (M12) and Quentin Harding (M50). Results here.

SROC 50th AGM

The 50th AGM will take place on Thursday 11th September at Garstang Fire Station. There will be a Jacobs Join after the meeting. The meeting will start at 7.30pm.
