The Colour Standards table, updated by the Slievenagore results, can be found under “Resources>LVO Public Folders>Colour Standards”  Congratulations to Marlene Stephens for being the first to achieve a Short Green standard.  Your colour standard is determined by your best 3 results in the last 12 months; these are shown with capital letters.  The yellow highlighting indicates folk who have not rejoined for 2018; their results are retained in order to be used retrospectively should they get their cheque books out toute de suite!  If they have gone on to other things then they will drop off the list as their Read More …

From Dee Orwin, organiser… WEE Series starts again 01 August in Victoria Park.  Details to follow but all times are standard. As ever, volunteers are requested to help out.  In particular the management of registration and downloads.

A folder has been temporarily created to contain – the TrailO results (already available under “Results”), a solutions map showing the answers with the locations of the 30 kites (and the 2 “Z” locations) and a Planner’s commentary attempting to explain what tests were being set and how they should have been solved.  It can be found under “Resources>LVO Public Folders>Public>LVOTrailOC2018”.  Happy to field any queries from disgruntled TrailOers!

You don’t need to be a coach, or even have oodles of experience!  The courses are planned.  I’m looking for a couple of people happy to volunteer for an hour or so on the day – registration sheets / chats / encouragement / using dibbers / working the miniprinter.  I was recently told, “It’s actually quite fun isn’t it”.  Yes it is! Next up Read More …
