Organiser's Comments

As I was involved in most of the aspects of the event, it falls on me to make a few remarks.

It was very pleasing to see 70 or so young people at the event and congratulations to all those who took part. On your behalf I would like to thank your teachers and parents for encouraging you and for bringing you to the championships. Most people got round their courses successfully although a few were very keen to sprint to the finish and missed punching the last control and so received an "mp" - mis-punched. Better luck next time.

The winners received their medals at the presentation and I hope they and everyone else enters next year's competition; the date and venue are to be arranged.

Although we had to endure the strong wind, which brought a strange smell over the car park, we were fortunate the rains kept away. I hope you were able to enjoy the views and flowers that Hadleigh Country Park has to offer which I hope compensated a little for the limited technicality on the longer courses. Those competitors who did get to sample some of the "forest" will know why planning and running on the area is difficult. Currently a new visitor centre or "Hub" is being built to the north east of the area. That, with the new trails and opening up of the redesigned Olympic course, is primarily for mountain bikers and cyclists. When all the work has finished, we will have to see if the area is any better or worse for orienteering. Does anyone have any experience of MTBO?

Finally a "thank you" to my band of helpers which was reduced in number owing to illness and other commitments. Hence I stepped in at Registration which was not as efficient as HAVOC's normal service. HAVOC's next event is an Introduction to Orienteering on 21 June followed a week later by a slightly more formal event incorporating the CHIG Champs. Both events are at Thorndon Country Park (South).
