…a speciality of Sienna and DVO Club Championships past, I will be making ‘ricciarelli’ almond biscuits, to pre-order, and for collection at the following upcoming orienteering events – Markeaton Park, Elvaston Castle, the National Stone Centre & Wirksworth and Rosliston.
My aim is to raise as much money as I can for Alzheimer’s Society, and in the process secure my place with them in The Great North Run… when it happens!
Please read more to pre-order – needed because of current restrictions

Derbyshire County Council will be operating an overflow car park on the Showground. Since we are running in the less busy morning period, we should be able to use the usual car park, but please follow the directions of the DCC stewards otherwise. Registration will be in the usual place at the western corner of the permanent car park.
Permission to run this event has now been obtained and entries are open. The event is pre-entry only with payment on the day, preferably contactless. You can enter via the Elvaston Castle link in the Forthcoming Fixtures list in the right hand column.
In order to avoid a clash with a funfair the Markeaton event has been postponed a week till Saturday 15th May. You must register using the button on the event details. There is no entry on the day to meet Covid rules. Note that the car park requires coins, (£2.50 for two hours, £3.90 for 4 hours). Nearest free parking on Prince Charles Ave, Mackworth, DE22 4BG around 750m away.
The Club has 2 training/coaching activities coming up soon, one online and one in the real world, specifically on Oker Hill.

At last, there is hope that we can return to the forests, moors and urban areas!
Following the Prime Minister’s announcement of the relaxation of restrictions on Monday 22nd February we held a DVO Fixtures Committee to consider the pattern of events we would look to put on over the rest of the year. We are obviously waiting for further guidance from the Government and British Orienteering as whatever events and activities we put on will necessarily operate within these guidelines.
