Organiser's comments - Nancy Powell Davies

As usual, a number of stalwart helpers came along to make sure that the event ran as smoothly as possible. I am grateful to everyone who made my 'maiden voyage' as an organiser so much easier. At least next time I shall have more idea what's involved. I must especially single out Colin and Lyn West for answering my early morning plea and coming to my rescue.

The weather was kind to us and it was lovely that the only problems that we had were because the event was more popular than we expected. I hope that not too many people were disappointed in having to wait for their run or change course. We will try to learn for next time.

I look forward to seeing you all in the woods another time.

Planner's Comments - Martin Sellens

Firstly, humble apologies to those of you who were unable to run on your course of choice because of the lack of maps. I had planned map numbers on the basis of the last two Straggler's Club Champs/colour coded events but clearly failed to take into account other variables like good weather and lack of other events in the area. Many thanks to those who agreed to sell back their maps. If you want a copy of the map with your course email me at sellm@essex.ac.uk and I'll send you one. Let me know if you can read OCAD8.

Many thanks to Andrew for taking over much of the planning job to allow the Sellenses to travel South to see family and to take part in the November Classic. Also, thanks to the controller, Janet , for her helpful suggestions on the courses and map, and to Nancy's organising team for coping with the crises on the day. The map still needs an overhaul, but I hope its minor deficiencies did not detract from your enjoyment of the area. I thought the wood was just about at its best and hope the heavy machinery stays out of it for another year or two, unless to clear out some of the unsightly debris of human activity. And finally, of course, thanks to you, the competitors, for coming to the event and making all the hard work of the SOS team worthwhile.

Controller's Comments - Janet Biggs (HAVOC)

I believe most people enjoyed the event. I know a few people had very close encounters with the mud, particularly along the track towards the finish. You may not believe me but the woods were drier for the event than when I visited three weeks ago. The area does not lend itself to long technical legs but Martin did manage to provide a nice variety. Those on Green may have felt they got an unfair share of depressions but at least they were different shapes and sizes. Thank you all for making the event a friendly, sociable occasion. One 'customer' we did not seem to be able to satisfy was a dog walker who arrived at Download in a slightly agitated state wanting to know how to get back to her car. We had to assume she left it in the ECC lay-by as she was rather vague. After providing her with a map and explanation of the route to follow, she seemed none too grateful. I do wonder if we had not been there whether she would have found anyone to help her.

Thanks to Nancy and the happy band of Stragglers helpers for coping with the stresses and strains of the event and to Martin for planning the courses and to Andrew for setting out the controls and managing the technicalities. It is a pleasant change to work with experienced people, there was very little for me to do.
