Planner’s Comments - Steve Robertson

Hatfield Forest is a typical East Anglian area – flat terrain and blocks of forest separated by rides -- although the indistinct vegetation, multiple thickets and open areas can confuse even the experienced orienteer.

The start and finish were moved from the traditional positions (north and west of the main lake) to south of the lake to change the perspective for those of you who are regular Hatfield visitors. The courses were planned in an attempt to minimise your time in the open areas and maximise time within the forest blocks – something assisted by Sportident which allows courses to overlap. From the favourable comments received this seems to have been reasonably successful.

A few competitors identified some areas for map modifications at the next update, primarily relating to feasibility/vegetation – thank you.

The only hitch on the day was the movement of one control by about 20 metres on the Yellow course that we repositioned as soon we were notified – hopefully the disruption was minimal.

My thanks to the SOS members who assisted both before and on the day, and Keith Downing for his support and rapid feedback when required.

Controller’s comments - Keith Downing (SMOC)

Whilst it might be easy to plan basic courses in Hatfield, it is much harder to make the courses of the right technical standard. Steve did a good job by keeping you in the forest and giving route choice for senior courses. Strangely, it was the white- and yellow-standard course which presented difficulties to some due to the wide open areas. I was happy with Steve’s courses, but watching some of the younger competitors running in all directions did show that one of the basic key skills at this stage is just to stop and look at the map every so often, rather than just run regardless.

Everything worked well, although the demand for entry on the day with pre-printed maps always presents unpredictable problems of numbers. The solution adopted to recycle maps was the only option available, but one which might not be available at other events. Regional/Badge standard events always set much higher standards for organising clubs, but competitors should also co-operate and be more disciplined than at a more casual Local/Colour-coded event.

Congratulations to all new East Anglian Champions, and also SOS for a well organised event which gave me a very easy job to do.

Organiser's comments - Andrew Cordle Andrew@Cordle.net Phone/text 07968 567529

Thanks for coming and making our event a success. SOS is a small club, and with members away on holiday and on coaching courses, manning the event was a bit of a struggle, but it all seemed to work on the day. Nine of the helpers even managed to become East Anglian Champions!

If you want a map because you were unable to attend or your map was recycled on the White or Yellow course (a large school group arrived unexpectedly) or you ran without a map on the String course or did not receive a certificate (I underestimated demand), please contact me.

One compass was handed in as lost property. If it's yours, tell me which model it is and I'll send it to you.

Thanks to all the SOS helpers on the day, to Lyn for handling pre-entries and Kevin for printing the maps, and to the Planner and the Controller - you were all a pleasure to work with.
