Our Next Few Events
Take Note
The new BAOC O Tops had just arrived and are available from Allan Farrington, email allan@baoc.info, see attached sheet for details. Cost £25. Tight fit so order one size above your normal. Allan will have them at MLS events.
At the MLS AGM on Wed 13 Jun it was agreed that an extra course would be added, the Short Green course would be provided at all events and is designed for the experienced orienteer who is injured and cannot run a full cse our those who want a technical challenge but not up to a full blue cse, also the Red/Long Orange course would now become an Orange cse approximately the same length as the Short Green cse (just over 3Km) but of mainly TD2 with some TD3 controls if appropriate, basically a long yellow designed for the Novice soldier orienteer to get them started on orienteering before they progress to the Light green cse. The LG, SG & Org Cse would all score a max of 50 points, with Blue still at 70 and Brown at 100.

After a break in attendance of some years, BAOC managed to field not just one but two teams in the annual Harvester Relay competition, held at Tilgate Forest on 23-24 Jun 18. This national level race, now in its 40th year, is the UK’s equivalent to the internationally renowned Tiomila and Jukola mass relay events from Scandinavia - though on a much smaller scale! The A team, comprising 7 Army-capped runners, won the Small Club category and were placed third overall on the A Course. Running the B Course, the 5-man B team, finished 11th of 23 teams. A great result after a long absence and something to build on for next year.
