Our friends at NWOC traditionally run a post-Christmas event in the Limavady area. This year the venue is Roe Valley Country Park on Monday 27 December. An invitation is extended to LVO, but do check the event details on the NWOC website, as advance entry is required by Christmas Eve on SI Entries.
It’s the time of year for us all to wrap up against the weather and for the Treasurer to wrap up the Club Accounts for 2021. If you or your kids were selected to compete outside Ireland then please check the travel funding policies on the LVO website (under Resources > Travel Funding) to see what support is available and let me have your claims by the end of this week if you haven’t sent them already. Also, it’s time to wrack your brains for any other expenses that you still need to claim back for 2021. Many thanks folks. Read More …

The Colour Standards history table, showing achievement back to 1990, has been updated with the 2021 colours obtained. The capitalised entries show those who got their first colour or improved on their previous – congratultions to the 14 heroes! All you have to do now is make a New Year resolution to keep up or improve your standard in 2022! “Resources>OneDrive Public>Colour Standards”
The final hCOW tables, following Seskinore, are now available at “Resources>OneDrive Public>hCOW>hCOW2021”. They clearly show that the king of regularity is Mark Pruzina; not only did he clean up the series with 2 wins in his 4 counting events but he also shares the hCOW Champion title with Kieron Rocks for winning last Saturday’s event. The series table, in addition to showing your place points score provides the history of your handicap variation through the series. This should allow you to reflect on your good (or bad!) performances and allow you to identify what can be done to improve.
The final 2021 NISeries tables are now published on the NIOA web-site. A copy is available here at “Resources>OneDrive Public>NI Series”. While LVO contributed most in the way of entries we came away with only 3 titles from the 9 contested classes. Looks like O-shoes need tightening up for next year!
The colour standards table has been updated for the final time this year following the Seskinore event. While there were not too many new or updated standards there was considerable consolidation due to the ramping-up of the event programme throughout the autumn period. Your 2021 colour achievement will be added to the history table and the table will be reset for 2022. While there will be no more updates this year the table still acts as a reminder to anyone with a name highlighted in pink or yellow – this shows that your 2022 membership is still awaited. “Resources>OneDrive Public>Colour Read More …
