Last year’s Roll of Honour can be found at “Further Info>LVO Public Folders>Roll of Honour”. Sorry about the delay in getting it published but last year’s injury-induced absence left me with a lot of catching up to do. If I’ve got any of it wrong or left anything out please let me know, and don’t be shy about your own involvement – this is the only historical record of the club’s achievements and it would be a shame to leave it incomplete.
Following the first 5 colour events of the year (3SC+2NI) the colour standards table has been brought up-to-date. It can be found at “Further Info>LVO Public Folders>Colour Standards”. The double-headed arrows show the 12-month window of events which count, the capitalised letters show the events (there must be 3) counting towards your current standard, the right-hand column shows the best colour achieved this year (i.e. you must have reached a colour standard in an event this year) and, in brackets, the best colour you’ve ever achieved since records began in 1990.

Just used CONDES to calculate the shortest available route for last Saturday’s long course i.e. avoiding out-of-bounds and uncrossable line features.

The final Spring Cup 2018 tables are now available. Go “Further Info>Documents>Public documents>Club Colour Series”, right-click on the filename and select “Open in Word Online” or “Open in Browser”. The points are place points and to be eligible you had to be 1. a member of the club and 2. have returned a result in 2 out of the 3 events. The aggregate of your 2 lowest event placings is your score.
Results are now available on Routegadget – see http://www.lvo.routegadget.co.uk/rg2/ Now on Winsplits too! http://obasen.orientering.se/winsplits/online/en/default.asp?page=classes&databaseId=54563 In Routegadget you will have to pick ‘Ballymena Sprint’ or ‘Ballymena Sprint Short’ depending on which results you want to see. This is because a different map was used.
You can pay your Ballymena Urban Sprint entry fee by contactless card.This is a trial run to see if contactless payment might speed up the entry process at the busy WEE events. So please pay by card or, better still, Apple Pay or Android/Google Pay on your phone. Of course you can still pay with proper cash if you wish!

Organiser: Richard Gamble Planner: Lyle Flemming Whether you are an experienced orienteer or a novice, young or not so young, Lyle will have designed a course for you on this new map – thanks Bill! If you are interested in trying orienteering out for the first time, an urban course is less daunting and there will be someone available to literally help point you in the right direction! On the flip side, this new course will be good practice for those planning on entering the sprint at the IOC in Sligo, in a few weeks time. The courses will be around the Slemish College/Ballee Read More …
Just a quick reminder for the short training event tomorrow afternoon in Hillsborough. Please see the events page for more details.
