Moz’s comments.

 

A very good turnout for the last one before Christmas. We were originally offered the lounge bar of The Highfield, but the landlady changed her mind so we had to move to the vaults. Though not as palatial,  it wasn’t as smoky as the lounge, and we were entertained in the quieter moments by a particularly vociferous local who thought that every other word began with ”f”.

 

There were one or two issues with the controls. The first is entirely my fault and I can’t apologise enough. The answer to 18 was shown as “H on LP”. Peter correctly pointed out when he checked my route, that the H is in fact on the TP that was next to the LP. I changed it in my notes, but this unfortunately didn’t make it to the final draft. Luckily it was a 10-pointer and not many of you visited it. If it was a 40, I might have found an angry mob waiting for me in the car park. I allowed any answer for this control as correct.

 

Controls 32 and 47 were a little ambiguous, so as it’s Christmas, and to prove that I’m not as miserable as you think I am, I’m allowing 5 or 7 for 32, and 5 or 6 for 47.

 

Some of the scores above are slightly different to those given out on the night. I managed to miss a few answers and get a few totals wrong, due to a combination of poor lighting, and my failing eyesight and dodgy maths. All is now correct I hope.

 

I’d finally like to thank Peter for performing the more onerous task of clocking you all out and in, and to wish you all a merry Christmas.

 

Ian’s comments

 

I was convinced that the 15th was too close to Christmas for a decent turnout,  so thanks for proving me wrong yet again !  Thanks to Moz and Peter for a well appreciated event and an excellent Christmas cake.  Sorry to those who found the room too smokey, note the room change was the landlady’s choice and not Moz’s .  I presume we all would prefer a non-smoking area where available, but agree that an indoor HQ is on balance better than using the car-park in winter.

 

Please continue to invite anyone who might enjoy an O-run to our 2005 events, and organizers will publicise through local sports clubs.  A good quorum is useful for the SROC finances, and also makes it a better social event.  Please do make an effort to mix with our visitors, and offer them your experience on strategy and techniques.

 

A reminder that the events are covered by the BOF national insurance.  If you cannot make the event date, you can self-time on a private run another evening.  In most cases we will give League Points for your run, but you cannot beat the on-the-night score.  Please arrange directly with the organizer to pick up a Map and Answer sheet.  Usual £1 fee, or £1.50p if to be posted out, but note you run at your own risk, and will not be covered by our insurance.   You also might consider re-running your local event and checking how much faster you can go round when you know the route.
