Saturday 15th June 2019 Entries for the club champs close on 31st May. If you have been procrastinating, contact Robert and enter now DVO members are invited to take part in the above event. It is a free, closed event only open to current and past members of DVO. Full details of the event are available from the following link: DVO 2019 Championships and Picnic
I am aware that the final control and the finish were not in sync so there are some very short (and indeed some negative) splits on that leg. The winner of the National Forest Trophy was Hilary Palmer of NOC. The trophy is awarded for what is judged to be the best run on the day. The trophy was presented by Zoe Sewter, National Forest Access & Recreational Development Officer, who also took part in the event. I very much enjoyed my “run” although I clearly have lots of room for improvement!” Thank you once again for inviting me. It gave me a chance to evaluate what I have done with my life and am pleased to say I’m pretty happy with it all – mainly thanks to orienteering. I felt at home with the DVO company and everything was most memorable – the food was terrific, the flowers are lovely and I enjoyed catching up with the people I knew as well as making new acquaintances.
The results from the above event included the following successes for DVO members. In the British Sprint Mixed Relays (a non-championship event) the team of Mike Godfree, Liz Godfree and Doug Dickinson finished equal third. In the British Long Championships podium positions were achieved by M14a Jake O’Donnell 1st, M70S Dave Skidmore 3rd, M75L Derek Gale 3rd, W35S Emily Powell 2nd, W70L Liz Godfree 1st and W75 Pauline Ward 3rd. In the British Relay Championships The Duckworth family team of John, Sarah and Rachel took first place with the O’Donnells (Chris, Ben and Jake) filling the third spot (see photo, click for larger image). Ranald Macdonald will be running another Event Safety Workshop on Thursday 9th May 2019 from 7.00 pm until about 9.15 pm at The Family Tree, Whatstandwell.
