🏆🍂Autumn Trophy Results – Sorry, the results I published in the last post were bit out on a few categories. I should have referred to Alan’s spreadsheet of results which is available for us all to see on LVO’s OneDrive – see here. I didn’t take into account the points that officials deservedly get for being amazing and putting on the events for us to enjoy. I also didn’t rank the men and women and juniors separately – probably because I love the way we compete across different ages and genders in colour courses. Anyway, as a result, Meadow McCauley Read More …

👏Thank you to all those involved in the planning, organising and running of this years three Autumn Trophy events. 😊Three very different events at Tollymore, Slievenagore and Cairn Wood were enjoyed my many of us. To be competitive, participants must have completed in at least two of the three events with the best two results used. 🔵Short Blue: 1st Female Steph Pruzina, 2nd Female & 1st Junior Anastasia Mahlych, Joint 3rd Female Olivia Baxter & Sarah Gamble. 1st Male George Savell, 2nd Male Ivan Millar, 3rd Male Lyle Fleming 🟢Short Green: 1st Female Susan Lambe, 2nd Female Carol Black, 3rd Read More …

WENT on Wednesday 23 November goes back to Ground in Lisburn. Enjoy a 45 minute urban score using MapRun6 or MapRunG on a different part of the city than last time. All the details are in the event page on the LVO website. Sufficient maps are printed and the forecast looks reasonable. Do come along!

There are some extra maps printed for the Lisburn West event, so if you didn’t get around to pre-enter just come along and pay on the day at non-member rates. Exact change please! All the details are on the event page.

The pre-entry closing date for the Urban League event in Lisburn on Sunday afternoon 20 November is on Friday 18 November. Entries are on SI Entries with full detail on the event page on the LVO website. For the last NI Colour Series event of the year at Learmount Wood on Saturday 26 November, the closing date is Sunday 20 November. Entries again at SI entries with full details on the event page on the NWOC website.

These can be found at “Resources>OneDrive Public>” then:- “Club Colour Series>2022AutumnTrophy.pdf”. The final places are in! It was best (lowest) two scores over the three events to count, with event organisers getting points equivalent to their best in the other two rounds. “Colour Standards>Colour Standards.pdf”. With one colour event left (Learmount NISeries7) you need to get your entry in for your target colour. “hCOW>hCOW2022>” then:- “Event12.pdf”. The very negative event variance shows that, unlike Castlearchdale the week before, the many new gravel paths allowed folk to stay out of the tricky vegetation for much of the time. “Series Table.pdf”.

Various tables have been updated after last Saturday’s NISeries event. You can find them at “Resources>OneDrive Public>” then – “NISeries>NISeries2022.pdf”. With one event to go there’s still plenty to play for in many of the classes. Congratulations to Jenny Orr for clinching the Orange Women title. Although Steven Linton has got a full house in the Brown Men class there is a mathematical (but highly improbable) possibility that he may not win; can you work it out? “Colour Standards>Colour Standards.pdf”. Some activity here because of losing year-old results. With 2 colour events remaining this year you need to check your Read More …

This week’s Wednesday Evening Night Training will be in Lisburn, meeting at the Ground cafe at 7.15pm. All the details you need to know are on the event page. Note particularly that MapRun6 or MapRunG is being used, so especially if you have never used this before do get this set up before you come. Also remember Hi-Viz clothing and a head torch. Under 16s are very welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult.

Whilst preparing the tables for the Castlearchdale results, I discovered that Stephanie Pruzina and Lyle Fleming are misplaced in the Series Table. Although their points are correct they should have been assigned to the asterisk group at the head of the table as they have both achieved 7 scores, the number needed to contend for the title.

To help understand the needs of our members and direct our club offer, we intend to send out some short survey/questionnaires; and the first thing we want to look into is your preference of time and day for participating in weekend events. Below is a link to a short (less than 4 minute) questionnaire we would really appreciate your feedback on. Your individual views and opinions count! LVO WEEKEND EVENT SURVEY The prize for anyone who fills this in, is a hug from Juls (of course I haven’t sought permission for this but I’m sure she’ll be fine with that if Read More …
