LVO Print Services will be closed for holidays from Tuesday 26th July until Tuesday 9th August. Furthermore my PC is showing signs of considerable stress so could I ask all event organising teams to seek out backup map printing facilities in case it coups? I’m unlikely to have a replacement in place before the end of August.
Don’t let the fact that there are no official fixtures until August dampen your spirits. Get out and sharpen your O skills on one of the many Permanent Orienteering Courses. Have a look at the Permanent Orienteering Courses page for further details.
The Colour Standards listing has been updated with the results of the Club Champs at Tollymore. The colour standards folder can be accessed via “Contact us>Documents>Public documents>Colour Standards”.
Congratulations to Declan McGrellis on comfortably winning the Club TrailO Champs at Tollymore last weekend. Under results you will find the individual scores and a Planner’s Commentary. The latter will only make sense, if at all, to those who competed but as the saying goes – if you’re not in, you can’t win!

Do come along and try the TrailO event on Sunday afternoon. Never know, you might end up as the club champion!

If you don’t try TrailO because you think it’s for the lazy then this will give you a surprise – the time allowance is very challenging so running is very definitely on the agenda. The TrailO terrain is in 2 parts and there is 2.7km of Read More …

A number of our juniors took part in some demanding contour training on Luke’s Mountain on Sun 12 Jun. The rain only stayed long enough to soak Alan and Steph as they put out the controls but had gone by the time the athletes turned up leaving perfect conditions for the training. The challenge was to complete a number of short courses (6 in total) but with only the contour details left on the map and no way to tell North. This was a demanding exercise but one that all took something away from, even Alan who took home several hundred midge bites Read More …
