The Tim Watkins Trophy (Blodslitet) event at Whitbarrow Scar on March 1st is still short of helpers. Most urgently required are First Aiders to work in 2 groups. Additionally there is a need for a further 4 volunteers for misc jobs not requiring any special skills or experience. These would be ideal for new club members to get more involved with running an event. If you are able to help please contact Peter Knott (assistant organiser) 01772 683072 asap.

Final details for the 7th New Year Cracker have been posted to the fixture list, or straight from here. To save time at registration why not complete a registration form and bring it along with you? There is one on the final details, or you can download a page with three on here. Please note, the organiser requests that you should share transport wherever possible as there is limited parking available.

Any club member wanting to join the SROC team for the CSC qualifier at Frodsham Hill on 13th January needs to contact Sarah Watkins as soon as possible as entries have to be in by Friday 21st December.

Don't miss out on the marvellous woodland which forms a large part of the brand new map of Roeburndale, to be used for the New Year Cracker on 1st January. Further images, all taken yesterday, may be viewed in the gallery.

The coveted Blackpool Tower Trophy, traditionally fought over at the nearest Street League event of the season, has been awarded this year to Quentin Harding. The rules state that the highest rate of scoring (points per hour) on any course, and corrected for age, wins the trophy; except that no-one may win more than once in their life! So congratulations to Quentin, enjoy it for the next 12 months or so as it will never be yours again! The league scores have been updated after five events, half way through the season.

The club handicap will take place on Barrowfield, Brigsteer near Kendal with the social afterwards in the popular Victoria Institute, Caton. The mass start will be at 1.30, and anyone attending must contact Jon Carberry to make sure that a map awaits them. Full details are on the Fixture List.

If you ran at Blackpool and wondered where the Nashes were; never fear, they just ran on a different night! The results page now has their scores added. If ever you can't make it to a Street League you can contact the organiser to obtain a copy of the map, and time yourself on another night. You must return your answer sheet before the next event, and you are not permitted to score more than the winner on the night!

A good turnout on a lovely night for orienteering in the familiar setting of Beacon Fell, with the added advantage of having the luxury of a cosy visitor centre as HQ. Results, including Winsplits and Splitsbrowser, are accessible from the results page. You may also draw your route using RouteGadget.

There is already the nucleus of a team signed up for the Compass Sport Cup match at Frodsham Hill on 13th January. See details on this message board thread. To ensure that we move forward to the final we need more people to contact Sarah Watkins before 21st December. Everyone can join the team, even if you don't expect to be in the top few on your course. You will still help by reducing the scores of runners from other clubs. This year we are reinstating subsidised runs: you pay only 3 pounds for seniors and 1 pound for juniors. So come on and let's see South Ribble in the final where we belong!

Results, RouteGadget and Organisers' comments can now be access via the Street League results index. Please add your route, it makes for useful comparison when there are several others to look at. Remember to add your name and time taken (in the format mmss) before saving.

League score tables after event 4 have been added, accessible from the Street League Index, or directly from these links: Raw scores Age adjusted.
