Draft results published.

The excluded times for the time-out road crossing should now all be correct. Some of your split times may show incorrect exclusions or missing exclusions and therefore your course time is likely to be wrong. With 17 exclusions to be defined across all courses, unfortunately a couple of errors crept in. Thank you to those competitors who, very graciously, pointed out the errors

EAL and SWELL event at Langdon Hills.

HAVOC is following the guidance from Government and from British Orienteering that club orienteering events can continue as planned following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.  Therefore the orienteering event scheduled for Sunday 11th September 2022 at Langdon Hills will be taking place.  Before the event starts, club members will gather at 10:15am to pay our respects at the Beacon in the car park.  Those present are welcome to join us if they wish.
