Organiser's report
Thank you for coming to the event on such a miserable 'summer' evening.
The morning's heavy rain had abated by the time John Harris and I put the controls out in the afternoon so we had hoped for a dry evening but sadly it was not to be.

Next Regional EventPeter Palmer Junior Relay (SAXON)
Sat 7 Sep
Near: Forest Row
This year, the Peter Palmer junior relay competition is happening over the 7th and 8th September in Ashdown Forest, organised by SAXONS Orienteering club.
The relay runs from the Saturday night into Sunday morning, so more experienced juniors run in the dark with head torches, and those running later will see the sun rise or be running in daylight. It is great fun, and we encourage all WAOC juniors to take part.
This is a team event. Janet, our club captain, will be organising the WAOC entries.
Details are now available on the SAXONS website here.

A number of club members enjoyed taking part in the 2019 Midland Championships at Brown Clee Hill, Shropshire on Sunday 26 May. But it was only the WAOC Juniors who were able to successfully navigate their challenging courses well enough to win the W12 and M16 Midlands Championship Trophies. Congratulations to both of them.

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
