What a fabulous turnout! It is always rewarding to see orienteers enjoying a day out. Including pairs, the total number of runners was 310, which I understand is something of a record for a SOS event. Yesterday was made more special by the excellent facilities; a very big thank you to the Mugele family for use of their field for parking, barn for registration & download and the novel 'ditch crossing device' which many of the 130 juniors took advantage of on the way to the start and back.
Also the fantastic weather (not sure we can claim responsibility for that!), especially after the extreme rain and gales of the past three months. There were a few anxious moments leading up to the event. Two weeks ago the forest was completely closed for 5 days because of the high winds and resulting tree damage. Apologies to any of you who had to queue more than the usual few minutes for parking. We were slightly overwhelmed by the peak arrivals shortly after 10.00 and had to reverse a school minibus back onto the hard-standing after it refused to go further into the grass field. Special praise is due to our parking team for their valiant organisation of the record 174 cars.
My compliments to Clive for the excellent course planning, especially given the limitations of the closed areas and to Kevin for the updating of the map. Also thanks to Janet for controlling and the various initiatives she helped us with on the day, especially instigating some recycling of green maps so that all 65 green entrants got a run. (If anyone who volunteered their green map would like a replacement, drop me an email with name and address; Kevin has offerred to print replacements.). Thanks also to Tony and Andrew for use of their advanced skills on the SI system. Thank you to the Partridge family for running the very popular maze and also to the 23 SOS volunteers who helped with various other apects to make the event run safely and smoothly. Finally a big thank you to Simon Cranmer and the National Trust team for allowing us to use Hatfield Forest.
One item of lost property: a brown map and thumb compass left at the maze.
The heroes today were the competitors on the junior courses who had it tough underfoot nearly all the way. The villain was me for a confusingly numbered control which affected early starters on short green and led to the relevant leg being made void: my very sincere apologies for the inexcusable error which frustrated a few of you. The super-heroes were, as they are at every event, those who volunteered so much effort and time to make the event happen both before and during the event. None less so than organiser Eddie Banks who sourced a fantastic location for assembly and parking; mapper Kevin Machin, who works tirelessly to the end; and, most importantly, the controller Janet Biggs who was amazingly helpful and sensibly technical and pragmatic at relevant times – including the way she (with help from brother Tony Biggs) resolved the miss-numbering problem to nobody’s loss. So thank you to all competitors who were tougher than mud and to all volunteers who always merit praise for their contribution.

Control 160, on Short Green and Green, had the wrong laminated control code of 116 although the correct control box (SI unit) showing 160. The error was discovered quite early during the competition and it is thanks to Jenny Collyer (SOS) and Lorraine Houghton (WAOC) who removed the incorrect number. As several competitors on Short Green were affected by the wrong code number, it was decided that in the interest of fairness, the leg from 142 (no. 3) to 160 (no. 4) should be voided for all runners on that course. Also, for those who punched twice at 160, their second punch was taken as the start time of their next leg to 151 (no. 5) rather than their first punch. Control 160 was also on the Green course but much later than for the Short Green. As there was no evidence of any competitor on Green arriving near 160 (no. 8) before the wrong number was removed, no action was taken to adjust any times on this course.
