Fixtures List Update for 2017
Get those diaries back out. Â After a couple of months of trying to master WordPress I think I have all this years NI events up on the fixtures list – along with some other major events in Ireland and UK. In the past there has been some criticism of inconsistencies in event details between various websites. Â For this reason I have kept the detail on the LVO website to a minimum for non LVO events, but I have included a link to the originating website within the event details (just click on event in fixture list to see the link).

Score Training – Barnetts Demesne – Sun 29th Jan
Last chance to get your head around Score events before the LVO Champs on the 5th Feb and then the NI Champs on the 11th. 13:30 for a 14:00 start.  Same set up as last time.  A few minutes to plan your route with the map before a mass start, then 45 minutes to get as many as you can. Remember some controls are worth more points than others, but if you’re late back we take some of those hard earned points back.  See you all on Sunday. See Planners report here     https://lvo.org.uk/fixtures/score-training-2/

In particular there are 2 Score Training events in January which will be pretty informal (car boot style) Read More …
WENT 2016 Finale – Wed 14 Dec – Belvoir Forest UPDATE
Note – we will be using the small room in the Forest Service building for registration and for the refreshments afterwards. Enter via the double gates into the courtyard. Early birds should find room to park in the courtyard; later comers may have to use the main car park. The courtyard will be signed. After a cracking (but slightly poorly supported) WENT in Wallace Park last week (which caught even a few experienced orienteers on the wrong side of the fence!) the final WENT for 2016 will be run at Belvoir Forest on Wednesday 14 Dec. This will be your Read More …
