With thanks to the NHS for my physical recovery and to the Club Committee for the (much needed!) hardware and software replacements I am delighted to announce that LVO Map Printing Services is once again on the air BUT holiday plans means that it will have to be suspended between Tues 26th and Sun 30th June and Tues 15th and Sun 27th August, all dates inclusive. If any WEE planners want to make use of the services could you please also specify numbers of maps required? The absence of published results means that I am unable to gauge demand.
Wednesday 26th July – City of Lisburn For all those who haven’t evacuated the Country during July and are bored and missing their summer Orienteering, or even just want a little warm up before heading to Scotland; I have an extra fixture for you: A Club Night: A low key Urban Score event with a difference, around the Parks and Streets of Lisburn. Although many of the control sites will be within traffic free areas, because this is an Urban Score Event and I can’t predict your routes, ALL under 16’s will need to be accompanied by an adult,  but Read More …
The club is setting up an urban mapping team to map large areas of North and East Belfast. This is in preparation for a project in conjunction with Beat the Street and YouthBuild, with funding from Active Belfast. The approach is very much teamwork, as small sections of pre-prepared map are allocated to individuals to complete and check on the ground. This is another great way of developing your orienteering skills. Besides the team who created the Lisburn map, this project is open to any club member who would like to get involved. If you are at all interested, please contact Read More …
The LVO 2017 Survey is for members and non-members and has two goals. Firstly to capture your details (LVO and non-LVO), including SI numbers, for our Autodownload archive and secondly to enlighten the Committee on the memberships views of the club. For non-members the online survey should only take a couple of minutes to complete and for members about 15 minutes. Please complete one survey per family member. Spot prize for 1 x LVO member who completes the survey. You can access the survey here:http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/LVO2017 Closing date 31st July.
As this is the last WEE in June we thought we’d have a bit of fun this week. We’ve planned a maze! You can either have a go on your own or have a bit of competitive fun with a head to head race. If you’re a junior its your chance to get your own back on Steph; or to beat your sibling, or even to show your parents who the better orienteer is. For those of us who should know better; can you hold your head above water against your peers, or can you put these pesky small fry back in Read More …
What a great weekend we had at Tollymore . Many thanks to all those who made it possible for us to enjoy 3 sessions of orienteering, a fine barbeque and a chance to get together away from the pressures of home – and all with good weather! Thanks to the organisers, planners, controllers, control hangers, control collectors, fire pit supervisors, wine providers, club members and visitors who came from all over to make the weekend such a success. A few photographs from the weekend are here. As usual, if you want your photo removed please let me know via publicity’at’niorienteering.org.uk
Next Wednesday is the last of the WEE Series in June – same format as the rest of the month – 2 courses (yellow short and orange long) – with some training available for those that want it. There will be plenty of help for newcomers and encouragement for the more experienced. Please use the Jordanstown Road entrance to the University of Ulster Jordanstown campus and make your way round to Car Park 5 – please drive carefully as there may already be people out running and there are likely to be other members of the public using university facilities.
