By alison, on June 14th, 2018  Tues 26th June is the Peel Pursuit handicap run and club BBQ.
The run is a straight run (no navigation needed), with the slowest off first and the fastest last, so that in theory, everyone finishes at the same time. The grid reference for the start is SJ975194. The Pursuit route for adults will NOT be taped this year and people are encouraged to recce the route in advance. Maps of the course will be available for use on the night and a PDF of the route is attached to this p. The senior 4 km course is the same as last year. The junior course will be taped.
The start time will be 7 pm plus handicap times. Let the organiser know if you plan to run so he can work out the handicap times or any juniors want to run a short course.
The barbecue (BYO) follows at Jon’s house – bring your food / drink and deckchair (and probably a brolly as it usually rains!!).
More details have been e-mailed to all members.
By alison, on June 14th, 2018 Cha sers were represented at the 2nd Showground Relays last night by just the one team this year. The 4 x 2-mile relay used to be the Shugborough Relays until it’s move last year. Chasers have had teams entered in every race since it started in 1988, with Andy keeping his record on doing them all – now reaching the 30-year marker. This year’s team of Dan, Andy, Dave and John were 9th in the Male Super-Vet Team, just 70 seconds down on 6th place.

Controllers comments:
Promising sunshine at 6.30 a.m when three of us set off to put out some 40 controls. All placed and woken up by 9.30 a.m.
Using the South east Start meant courses plunged into the complex wooded area straight away. Careful navigation and good attack points were needed here and longer courses came back to it later just to further test your navigation.
Congratulations to Neil and Mary for stepping up to be planners.
Thanks to those who mentioned that they had found possible extra features. We made a note of them to pass on to the mappers. On an area as complex as this, it’s a seemingly endless task.
Please consider stepping up yourself to these vital jobs. Us M75 Controllers find it very lively, even with a mountain bike, to race round all controls before 10 a.m. This would be an even bigger task at dark winter events.
West Midlands is fortunate to put on courses for Planners, Controllers, and Organisers- look out for the next ones.
Mike Callow, Wrekin Orienteers
By alison, on April 11th, 2018  Thanks to Ray for organizing Tuesday night’s 45 minute score from Brocton Coppice, and to everyone for running on a foggy cold evening. Congratulations to Bob for winning and to Christine for being top lady.
Next Tuesday is on Rawnsley from Beaudesert car park, which is near the golf course entrance.

By alison, on March 10th, 2018  Mark Garside and Jonathan Howell organised the latest 2 races of the night-O league in Milford and Highfields, Stafford. It’s very close at the top of the table, with just 3 points separating the first 4 runners. Here are the results so far, arranged as best of 5 as there are 7 events in this half season. 2018_Street_O @ 10 Mar
By Stodge, on February 4th, 2018  We offer our sincere apologies for the problems on the courses today with missing controls / controls in the wrong place. The problem has been traced to a previous version of both the map and course planning files being used for printing (see maps below for more detail). A particular sorry to those new to orienteering who struggled on Orange and Light Green – please do not let this experience put you off.
The controller and organiser feel the best solution to the issue is to let the results stand as best as they can be published for the day, however that the event is voided from a West Midland League and National Ranking Point view. A decision on the WCH club championships will be taken once the results have been processed..
Apologies again, we hope that at least the beautiful weather made up for it a little.
Results are here
The results have had no legs removed – just missed controls credited but it is possible to see time lost in the splits.
Below the two versions of the all controls map for those that want to see where the issues affected them……
