Age-class East Midlands Champions from DVO

Judith H, Dave, Judith E, Michelle and Nerijus with their trophies

The prize-giving from the EMCs at Longshaw on 15 February took place at our Bow Wood and Lea Wood event on March 22. Chair Ann-Marie Duckworth presented the trophies, assisted by her predecessor Amanda Roberts of Lincoln Orienteering Group. Our winners had to outrun rivals from the three other East Midlands clubs: LOG, NOC and LEI on sunny by freezing terrain. The full list of DVO winners is here:

Christine and Derek won the MW80 class, full results here. Val and Graham Johnson won W65 and M70, but were away in the Lakes at the time of the presentation. Congratulations to you all!

The Midlands Championships – in which West Midlands and East Anglian runners join the fun – takes place at Brown Clee Hill in Shropshire on 19 April. Hopefully it will be warmer than the EMCs!
