Our Club Championships were able to take place in 2021, unlike 2020, and this time the winner was Martin Hore, followed by Sally Wilkinson and Olivia Radcliffe in second and third place respectively. Our Chairman, Simon, duly presented the trophy, the Punchbowl, at our West Harling event last weekend.
The competition was held at NOR's Lynford event in December. The Club Champs results can be seen here & the overall results from the NOR webpage.
Our next online training session for members will be at 19:30 on Monday 7th February. It will follow a similar format to previous sessions, i.e. part coaching and chat, part discussion of events coming up in the next couple of months. The coaching will focus on the follow-up to an event, while the events section is likely to cover the CompassSport qualifier at Mildenhall North and the British Middle Distance Championships (to be held in "EAOA country" at Rushmere).
Please let Clive know if you wish to join us for the session so that he can send you the Zoom link.
The training session in Bridge Wood (Orwell Country Park) which had to be postponed because of the weather forecast and potential road closures before Xmas has been rescheduled for Saturday 29th January - see the events section, but all queries/registrations to Clive, please.
The Zoom meeting on preparing MapRun courses is on Wednesday 5th January at 7pm. All welcome, especially members who haven't dared to dip their toes into the "planning" area yet! Please email Sarah for the link to join the meeting.
Our congratulations to Barnardiston Hall School for winning the Middle School Trophy at the British Schools Orienteering Championships at Stowe Park, Buckinghamshire on Sunday 21st November. There were two SuffOC Juniors competing at the Championships: James contributed to Barnardiston's First place in both the "Middle Schools" and the "Y7 Boys" categories, while Ben helped The Perse Upper School to gain fourth position against other "Large Secondaries".
