Provisional Results

Officials' comments

Organiser - Dave Skinner dave.skinner@btinternet.com

Having never experienced the SOS Relays before it was with some trepidation that I journeyed to Hylands Park - I was however buoyed up by, and grateful for, the advice that SOS Relays guru Nancy Powell Davies had given me prior to the event. Thankfully it was not quite so hot as it has been on the Saturday, and I for one appreciated the occasional cloud cover and hint of rain. With 13 teams (one constructed on the day) it was a good competitive event - congratulations to SUFFOC Flying Monkeys who are now the proud holders of the much-coveted SOS Relays Trophy. I have attempted to put together individual results for all those who ran in the Relays as well as those who ran individually. A certain amount of guesswork has been necessary in some cases. If there are major errors in the results which are of significant concern please let me know. All runners completed their courses with no mispunches. I intend to publish a more comprehensive review of the event in the next SOS Newsletter.

Personally I enjoyed the event despite the chaos that generally surrounded my activities! Thank you all for coming - I hope you too enjoyed the day. The event would not have been possible without the tremendous contribution and support from many - particular thanks to:

Julie Laver for Planning, collecting/returning equipment, checking punched control cards
John and Jenny Collyer, who had just returned from an 8-day orienteering-fest in Sweden, for Controlling and covering other needs as necessary
Sally and Matthew Johnson for effectively covering Registration needs in splendid isolation in the car park
Jon Beaumont, who efficiently managed the Start of both teams and individual runners
Kevin Machin for his timely production of maps
All those who helped with set-up and close-down activities
Chelmsford Borough Council for permission to use Hylands Park.

As ever I am very happy to receive any comments, positive or negative, on the event. My email address is shown above.

Planner - Julie Laver

Planning the yellow course through open parkland was interesting as there was a lack of connecting line features to keep the course short enough. The other two courses were easier but the nature of the scattered trees meant some areas were difficult to show in detail on the map - when does a loose group of trees become a copse or white forest? I was also conscious that some people would be running multiple courses so I tried not to duplicate too many controls between courses as you can at normal events. Thanks to John and Jenny Collyer for controlling in a sympathetic manner and also for helping set out controls on the day. Also thanks to those keen runners who helped collect them in after the event. I hope you all enjoyed the day and your team did as well as you hoped!
