Saturday
1st June 2013 - Urban
Orienteering - Poole Town Race (Details)
(Race 5 in the Southern
England Orienteering Urban League)
This
event came about as a result of a mapping project done
by the Rotary Club of Poole Bay. The project was to map
all the alleys and rights of way in Poole Old Town, and
was done with the support of Poole Borough Council.

see the results of the work, click here.
Having
mapped all these obscure and less-obscure footpaths,
Rotary Club of Poole Bay started looking for projects
that could build on the work they had done. Orienteering
seemed an obvious one, and with the rise in popularity
of sprint (short distances) and urban (in towns, cities)
orienteering, the idea for the Poole Town Race was
born. Read more here...

Wessex
success at Southern Championships
Julie
Astin took first place and the W60 Trophy at the Southern
Championships
held on a damp and windy Penhale yesterday
(Sunday 14th April). For those of you who haven’t experienced
Penhale, it is one of the jewels in the South Wests crown,
being amazingly
technical and pretty fast. Check out the maps at the next
Club night. Julie has been coming along to the Tuesday sessions
at Bournmouth Uni, they are obviously paying dividends! So
very well done Julie.

Wessex
at JK 2013 - The Chilterns, March 29th - April 1st
|
|
|
Well, we had a great weekend at the JKs
in spite of the cold. Our most notable results were:
Gavin Clegg 1st M55 Sprint
Gavin Clegg 9th M55L
Ian Sayer 18th M60L
Richard Arman 4th M80
Bill Brown actually came 4th on Day 3, but hadn't entered
Day 2, so it didn't count overall.
Regarding the relays, our top men's team (Dale Paget, Gavin
and Jon Brooke) came a creditable 14th, out of 57 teams.
Note must also be made of our Mini Relay Team - Agnes and
Arthur Brooke and Yvette Paget - who ran well and came
13th. A top team of the future?!
