There will be a free-to-enter TrailO course available at Saturday’s event.  This will be for the 2017 Club TrailO Championship so, since no FootO Champs have been scheduled in the fixture list, this is your chance to become THE 2017 Club Champ!  The TrailO is to be taken before your FootO run (I don’t want to be collecting controls in the dark!) so come along a little early and have a go – instruction will be available if required.  The trail is 925m with 9 controls.  Technical details later.

The first vacation period listed should have been Tues 25th to Sun 30th July i.e. next Tuesday.

With thanks to the NHS for my physical recovery and to the Club Committee for the (much needed!) hardware and software replacements I am delighted to announce that LVO Map Printing Services is once again on the air BUT holiday plans means that it will have to be suspended between Tues 26th and Sun 30th June and Tues 15th and Sun 27th August, all dates inclusive. If any WEE planners want to make use of the services could you please also specify numbers of maps required? The absence of published results means that I am unable to gauge demand.

The Spring Cup tables are now available in the public folder “Club Colour Series”.  The points assigned are place points (ignoring non-members) and it is the lowest two scores which count.

I’ll be at Hillsborough tomorrow – happy to explain hCOW further if you feel that you might be interested.  You can read the introduction in the LVO cloud – go “contact us>documents>public documents>hCOW”   Alan Gartside

The Colour Standards list has been updated with the Learmount Wood results and can be found in the “Colour Standards” folder at contact us>documents>Public documents.  As ever, red indicates non-membership – the records are being retained in case that “oversight” gets rectified.

The current NISeries and Final Colours of Spring tables have been updated with the Learmount Wood results and can be found in the NISeries folder – go contact us>documents>public documents>NISeries.  Congratulations to Spring Winners Ben Cairns, Heather Cairns, Peter Gamble, Juls Hanvey, Lauren Howe, Richard McCourt and Ann Savage. This represents less than 50% of the classes going to LVO and very few at the elite end – get out there into the forests, folks!

This is an experiment to see if there is scope for an alternative form of FootO competition.  Have a read and let me know if you want to be in on the trial. This is an embedded Microsoft Office PDF, powered by Office Online. This document, and any results which may be generated, can be found in the hCOW folder in the Public Documents section of the LVO cloud. Alan Gartside

The NISeries and Colours of Spring tables are available in the NISeries folder in “Public Documents”; congratulations to those who have already won their Colours class (shown in red).  The Colour Standards table has been brought up-to-date in its folder; the red in it indicates those who, according to my latest copy of the membership list, have not renewed for 2017.

I will have a supply of LVO car windscreen badges at the AGM.  These are car tax disc sized so can be mounted either by using your now-redundant tax disc holder or by backing with a piece of Fablon-like plastic.
