Midlands Championships and UKOL
Level: B (National)
Note added: 2nd Oct:
We have managed to get the results for all but 4 competitors now into the system with splits available in results link below.
We discovered it was the power link that had gone (too much water?!) and have now borrowed a power lead that has enabled all but 4 competitors results. The 4 are
M21V James Hornsby – 70:11
M50L Martin Sleath – 140:49
W40S – Victoria Hanman – Last finisher after computer went down – took 120:09 but did miss No 6
White – Rhiannon Pinches – 20:50
Everyone else should now find below their full results and splits with all queries resolved I hope.

Controllers Comments
The DVO machine is petty well oiled and the event would have run smoothly without me. Nicola and Richard worked tirelessly over the last few months to ensure the Midland Champs was worthy to be a championship. Richard’s courses were planned to the BOF course ratios. It’s very difficult to do anything different from the events from 2019 & 2021 except in a different direction. I gave a few suggestions – some were taken on board and some weren’t but I left the decision with Richard and I am more than happy with the final result.
Nicola was a delight to work with. She was thoughtful and an excellent communicator. A level B event comes with extra commitments which the average punter may not realise. The biggest grumble of the day is the finish control wasn’t SIAC enabled as per the final details. This was an oversight but reflects how well the event was organised.

I hope you all enjoyed the day at Chinley Churn. A bit more drama than the organiser really wanted. High winds early in the morning blew the urinal across the arena field and buffeted the portable toilets. Torrential rain and thunderstorm in the afternoon.
Richard’s courses made up for all this with their own dramatic impact. I’ve had tremendous support in organising the event – nearly 50 stalwart helpers from DVO and beyond who all willingly put a shoulder to the wheel. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped and advised me all the way through the preparation and on the day – you know who you are!
