MDOC Town & Country Weekend, Mark Sammon

Tuesday, 27 July 2010 09:37

Having only done one Regional event I have had my sights on the Town & Country weekend for a month or so. I enjoy the bigger events with the longer courses and a good challenge! Along with this I have only had 1 qualifying entry on the BOF rankings so I’m also keen to get 6 Regional/National events under my belt to get a ranking!

Saturday – Macclesfield Forest
Held in the North part of the forest the course was challenging as I foolishly turned up with shorts on (It was hot!).

13th July 2010 - Greater Manchester Primary Schools Orienteering Finals

SELOC supported the event with Beryl Blackhall, Melody Thompson, Fran Heron, Alan Heron & Kev Latham putting out the controls, and manning the start and finish sites. Pete Lomas from MDOC put on the "Naughty numbers" game to keep the competitors occupied until the prize giving. Hamish Willis from PFO organised and planned the event.

5 schools entered 3 teams each with each team being a pair of year 5 or year 6 pupils. Medals were awarded for the first three schools and the first three pairs.

SELOC Introductory Event - Leverhulme Park

Sunday, 27 June 2010 00:00

Ross on Orange Due to clashes with other fixtures, we expected this would be a low turnout event. However, the select few who came along enjoyed a warm day seeing Leverhulme at its summer best as a busy sports park. Recent previous events here had been held in thick fog and then bitter cold and rain.

Ross has moved up to Orange and was vying with Wendy until the final control.

We were pleased to be able to use some courses that had been developed by Dave and Harry Anderton at an introductory planning workshop on a SELOC Monday club night.
