Organiser’s Report

Managing to overcome cancelled flights from what was planned as a 2 night, but ended as a 4 night stay in Lisbon, I was still able to make, just, my orienteering organiser debut, hosting event no. 4 of the 2020 winter series in Maldon. By now, thankfully, the storm clouds had passed and the weather was surprisingly pleasant....perhaps the calm before storm Dennis. And yet, with the Ciara very much behind us, there was still a danger to fences in Maldon, not from gusts and gales, however, but from a number of orienteers, who I overheard were so desperate to find controls, they took to traversing 6ft high wooden panels!

A well done to the Long course winner on the night, Kevin Machin and to a joint second of David Lumby and couple, Simon and Lorraine Baker. A special mention also to Roy Read, who had it not been for a couple of incorrect answers, actually run the fastest by nearly 5minutes! To the short course and it was a tight between David Game (1st), Tim Brockington (2nd) and Rachel Barford (3rd), but well done David for picking up first place. A great effort from everyone though.

It was a huge relief to have everyone back in the Blue Boar both safe and with smiles on their faces, and I did get the sense that everyone had enjoyed what I hope was a diverse set of questions/controls. I am actually still relatively new to orienteering, so I now appreciate just how much work does go into these events, but I did really enjoy putting the courses together.

A massive thank you to Mark, my partner in crime on the night and a thank you to both Chris and Julie Laver, for all their support.

Finally, I am running the London Marathon in April in support of a great charity, Guide Dogs for the Blind. To obtain my place I do have to raise £2,000, so if anyone would like to donate, then please find link below.
