It is a rare privilege to orienteer in the marvellous area of Newborough, especially so as the controller of a prestige event. Although the map is not new, it has stood the test of time, and the runnability information has only altered marginally since 2001. Conditions on a cool but dry weekend were ideal for excellent performances, which we got on both days.

The 2001 British Championship results were a good basis for our course lengths - even so they did not prepare us fully for the speed of this year's runners. We saw exciting finishes on both days, and most? runners clearly enjoyed themselves greatly.

For that I must thank Heather, and her helpers Fiach and Anwen, for planning testing courses in the best terrain. But the Chamberlains made that possible by organising a JHI weekend which was both efficient and informal. Congratulations to them all - it will be a hard act to follow

Relay Entries 2009-10

It was agreed at the last club meeting that relay entries would be paid by the club for 2009-10.

Retrospective claims for 2009 can be made to Fran Hoare or Paul Ross

Team captains will be required to pay for the relay entry up front and then claim their monay back from the club after the event. If the team does not compete the entry fee will not be reimbursed (other than in exceptional circumstances)

Welsh Champs Mug Challenge

The challenge is to see how many different places the Welsh Champs mugs can make it to!

Hilary is off to a flying start presenting a mug to a slightly confused Patagonian earlier this year.

Get your mug out and about and photograph it in the weirdest and remote places you can.
