As you may know, several members of LVO are currently in the middle of a coaching assessment and as part of this we need to put on a Physical Training Session. So i’m looking for a few sacrificial lambs, sorry volunteers, who will still have some energy left after the NIOA Score and Night Champs to take part in an exercise I have devised around Drumgor on the Sunday morning. Don’t worry, i’m not looking to kill you and it will be entirely up to you what you want to put in to the session, but like most things the more Read More …

45 minutes to visit 24 controls and get a maximum 460 points. Can you do it at Belfast Castle on Sunday 4th February? Register and park at the Adventurous Playground CarPark ready for a mass start at 2pm. Some controls easy and close to paths , others less so! Wear suitable footwear as off path is often muddy and slippery. Cost – Seniors £5, Juniors £3.

The venue for the Event Safety Course being run by Helen on Wed 17 Jan is confirmed as the Derriaghy Room in the Lisburn Leisure Complex. Start time is 7.00 pm

The map to be used in Sunday’s Score Training will be to the new map-drawing standard of ISOM2017, obtained by using the built-in conversion facilities of OCAD.  Even the most eagle-eyed will have difficulty seeing any difference from previous maps (e.g. some slightly different symbol dimensions, some different vegetation screens) but if you spot anything untoward please let me know as I’m just at the start of the learning curve (there is an issue with some overlapping vegetation screens but it shouldn’t affect your route choice decisions).

Sadly there were not enough volunteers to make the planning course scheduled for Sat 13 Jan worth putting on. It has therefore been postponed. The Controllers Conference will still go ahead as planned. The WEE Planners Course offered by Helen on 21 Feb 18 is still on; if you want to attend please let Helen know via publicity@niorienteering.org.uk
