Our friends at the Mourne Mountain Marathon have created a course specially for orienteers. It’s a One Day Score Course on Saturday 16 September. Entries are for a team of 2 but we only have a few teams of orienteers already entered. and entries close this Saturday 9 September.  If you are keen to run but haven’t someone to run with of a similar ability, please do email Stephen immediately and by midnight on Tues 5 September, who will create a list of those interested with suggested pairings.

For anyone with Wednesday afternoons free: I am running a small series of training events over the winter, similar in format to the WEE, just on a much smaller scale. The first event is this Wednesday (6th Sep) in Hillsbrough Forrest. Starts from 1.30 – 2.30 and cost £3.50. 2 courses: Long- lt green, 3.7k Short- yellow, 2.5k If anyone would like to come please can you let me know to help with map printing. (lenny_68@hotmail.com) Thanks

Please note: Sadly, Meelmore this afternoon has been CANCELLED. We have looked at the hillside and it is too wet. These things occasionally happen but don’t worry the event will be rescheduled for a drier Sunday.

Yes sadly the WEE series has finished for another year, but if you’re bored and missing your weekly fix of orienteering already we still have one more Tuesday event in Craigavon! There will be plenty on offer to cater for all standards from novice to regular with a maze for practice at thumbing the map, a normal course designed to give you a challenge, and a score event or two. If you are thinking of coming along all I would ask is that you get in touch or post a comment to say so, so that i know how many maps to print, Read More …

The Beat the Street Website is now partially live, including a link to a map showing where the boxes are being installed.

And so this year’s summer season has come to an end. Fourteen events over four months with an extra one thrown-in during July and one cancelled at short notice in August, and Trevor Murphy went to them all!! There’s been a mixture of some good new areas as well as some firm old favorites. I’ll be the first to admit it’s been a messy series this year as we have tried various things in an effort to look to the future. Some good, some not-so, some have worked, some haven’t and I know not everybody has liked the changes, but they were all Read More …

The LVO 2017 Survey had two goals.  Firstly to capture details of LVO and non-LVO,  including SI numbers, for our Autodownload archive and secondly to enlighten the Committee on the memberships views of the club. There were 59 respondents with 51 completing the survey.  Of the 51, 35 were LVO members.  Thank you to all who completed the survey. The winner of the incentive prize is Pete McClelland.  A pair of running socks is waiting for you at the final WEE! The raw results of the survey can be viewed here The committee will review the results in more detail Read More …
