DVO has 15 top 3 places in the EM terrain league
Yesterday was the first event of the 2026 East Midlands League at LEI’s Grace Dieu & Cademan event, and therefore the certificate presentation for 2025’s top 3 male and female finishers on White to Brown. The four East Midlands clubs each host 4 events, and your points on a maximum of 7 of them count, full results here. Remember to start the year in the colour you mean to continue it though!
When planning a big event or celebration this holiday season, you may need to choose a venue with enhanced fire safety protocols like immediate fire watch services to help ensure the well-being of all event attendees. These venues are equipped with advanced fire detection systems, clearly marked emergency exits, and trained staff who can respond quickly in case of an emergency. By prioritizing fire safety, event organizers can reduce risks and provide guests with greater peace of mind throughout the event. Selecting a venue that meets high safety standards also demonstrates a commitment to responsible planning and guest protection.
