• WAOC take Bronze in Yvette Baker Final

Many congratulations to the 18 WAOC Juniors for their fantastic Third Place at the Yvette Baker Trophy Final on 7th July. There were many brilliant performances and ALL contributed in terrible weather. This is the best ever result the club has achieved since the Trophy was founded in 1999, and it is great to have some national silverware. Results at https://www.herts-orienteering...

Special mention must be made of Andre winning the entire Light Green course, and to Samuel C-D for winning the entire Yellow course. It was really heart-warming to see the great support for each other and WAOC at Assembly and out on the courses. It is wonderful how much fun Juniors can have orienteering in multiple thunderstorms!

Thank you to Hebe for her leadership as Junior Captain. Thank you to all the parents for their support, and particularly those who stepped in as coaches, recruited team members, and helped ferry Juniors to the remote start. And thanks to Adam and Elizabeth for bringing the extra gazebo!

More widely, a huge number of people have contributed to the recent successes of our Juniors. We can’t name them all here, but is worth collectively celebrating what has been achieved from the development efforts of lots of people in different ways over the past six or seven years.

Next year’s YBT Final is near Ashington, West Sussex, Sunday 6 July 2025. So please put in your diaries now. We will have to qualify in the spring first though!
