Unfortunately, Storm Dennis has beaten us. The Forestry Commission have withdrawn permission for the event because of concerns about the weather this weekend. More information about what will happen regarding the CSC/T heat when we’ve had a chance to look at the options.

After three events, Chasers are now in the lead with Droobers hot on their heels, while Harlequins and Wrekin battle it out for third. There is now a break in the league fixtures but club rivalry hots up this weekend with the CompassSport Cup and Trophy heat.

Wrekin Orienteers took home advantage of the second event in the league to take an early lead in the competition. Octavian Droobers host the next event on Sunday 2nd February.

Henry Morgan is running a Level C Organiser’s Course and an Event Safety and Welfare Workshop on 28th March at the John O`Leary Centre, Marquis Drive, Cannock Chase. Full details, including Henry’s email address to book a place on one or both courses, are here.  Information about who needs to have attended these courses is here.

Congratulations to Wrekin Orienteers on winning the Laurie Bradley Score club competition for the first time since 1990 (when it was the TSB Trophy), ahead of HOC in second and OD third.

OD juniors made a clean sweep of the other trophies, with Felix Lunn winning the TSB Trophy and Lauren Lewis, Florence and Tabitha Lunn winning the TSB mirror.

Octavian Droobers have retained their crown as West Midlands League champions, ahead of Wrekin in second and Harlequins in third. Congratulations to OD!
