Cover – Thanks again to Ernie for the cover - The 'Outwoods' Start Team had been promised use of motor unit plus trailer by the Forestry Management Team but on the day it had been 'beached'on a large tree stump and was unavailable so it was suggested by one of the Start team that they needed to borrow, hire, or even purchase a 'Club Trolley' to move equipment around - hence the cover. ----0000---- Page 2 EMEWS Contents – EMEWS 266 East Midlands Committee Report – 18th January 2018 Meeting 4 East Midlands Junior Squad Report – Anthony Squire 5 East Midlands Champs 2017 7 East Midlands Urban League 2017 – Final Standings 8 East Midlands Urban League 2018 11 East Midlands League 2018 13 Fixtures 15 For expert advice, competitive prices and high performance clothing, visit http://www.ultrasport.co.uk Best Shoes Best Compasses Best Clothing Best Equipment VJ Irock - £100 Moscow 11C + £27 Ultrasport OTops From £30 SI Card - £1.50 VJ Falcon - £100 Moscow 11T+ £27 Aries Knee Pants - £24 Whistle - £0.50 VJ Integrator M/L- £100 Moscow 2C $ £38 Aries Trousers - £22 Coded Punches - £32 VJ Supra - £95 Moscow 3C $ £38 Aries Pro Gaiters - £24 Control Flag 30x30 - £4.40 VJ Integrator High- £110 Moscow 3T $ £38 VJ Protech Gaiters - £25 Training Flag 15x15 - £3.75 Inov8 Oroc 280 £90 Moscow 9-11-2 £38 Vapro Gaiters - £24 H/Grade Sports Tape 3.8x13.7 - £3.50 Inov8 Mudclaw300 - £90 Silva Race 360 Jet £65 M/L Capri Tights - £20 H/Grade Sports Tape 5cmx13.7m - 4.50 Inov8 Mudclaw 265 - £90 Silva Race S Jet £65 M/L Tights - £24 Zinc Oxide SportsTape 2.5cmx10m - 2.00 Inov8 X-Talon 212 - £90 Siva 5 Jet $ £60 Trail Jackets - £30 Zinc Oxide Sports Tape Mens 3.8cmx10m - £3.00 Inov8 X Talon 212 - £90 Silva Nor 360 L/H £36 Gloves - From £8 Zinc Oxide Sports Tape Ladies 5cmx10m - £3.50 #Metal Stud *Non Metal Silva Nor Spectra L/H £36 RonHill Tracksters - £18 Ultimate Performance Ankle Brace - £20 Silva Race Plate Zoom$-£65 1000Mile Socks £8 Forearm descr Holder - £8 Please check website for $ Superfast + Fast Needle M/L - Mens & Ladies LED Lenser SEO7R Headtorch Saucony On/Off Road shoes - £75 TO SEE OUR FULL RANGE & SPECIAL OFFERS VISIT OUR WEBSITE: www.ultrasport.co.uk Ultrasport Ltd, Nova House, Audley Avenue Enterprise Park, Newport, Shropshire TF10 7DW Tel: 01952 813 918 Fax: 01952 825 320 E-Mail: [email protected] Page 3 EMEWS Report on East Midlands Meeting – 18th January 2018 EMOA Trophies – At the East Midlands Champs at Eyam Moor and Bretton Clough, Mike Godfree arranged for photos to be taken of all the existing trophies so that it would be possible to assess which trophies needed replacing / repairing or updating. A proposal will be put together to identify the best actions to take going forward. New Level A Controller - Roger Edwards has been formally accepted as a Level A Controller, so we now have 2 in the region. Coaching – Hilary Palmer reported that the UK CCL level 2 course was successfully held at Sherwood Pines with 7 attendees (1 LEI, 2 DVO, 2 Junior Squad and 2 SYO attendees). All are hoping to complete their coaching qualification by the end of 2018. The cost to the region was £550 for the 2 Junior Squad members to attend and £240 for the venue. JIRCS 2018 - Sarah Pennell and Andy Hawkins presented on the current status of JIRCS 2018. The outstanding requirement is to get a controller for the Relay Day (they need to be someone outside of the region). A name was suggested that they would follow up. At this stage there are no other major problems. The budget has been updated with the latest information, including an agreed access fee for Chatsworth. The number of competitors estimated is based on numbers from last year’s event. The accommodation should have sufficient space for all attending. Some of the more senior members may need to use the external “pods”. Dietary requirements should be met by Mount Cook (the venue of the accommodation). Junior Squad - Anne-Marie Duckworth reported that Anthony Squires and herself had taken over from Dai Bedwell at the start of the autumn 2017 series. They wanted it recognised by EMOA how much effort Dai had put into organising, training and transporting our juniors to special training days and competitions over many years. The committee seconded those thoughts. See Anne-Marie’s detailed Junior Squad Report in this EMEWS.

(iii) Midland Champs 2022 – NOC EMOA 50th Anniversary - There had been a number of suggestions as to what could be given to competitors at Midland Champs. Instead it was decided to aim to have something for EMOA Champs at end of the year. In addition we would create a logo for the EMOA celebrations and try to include it on all maps used for EM events this year. Chris Phillips to ask Ernie Williams if could design a logo. EM League Program - Ursula Williamson reported that the program used to run the East Midlands League had failed. However, this had now been rewritten by John Cooke and it seems to be working well, but Ursula would like folk to keep an eye on results to ensure it is working as expected. Dates and venues for future meetings - All meetings to be held at the Pace Room, St Mary’s Church, Clifton Village, Nottinghamshire at 7.30 p.m. The next committee meeting is scheduled for Monday 9th April 2018. The following meeting has been scheduled for Monday 11th June 2018. All members are welcome to attend if they wish. ----000---- EMJOS Summary – January 2018 The autumn 2017 season saw significant numbers of juniors participate in training. There was also good advances made to develop the EMJOS web page into a modern looking site appealing to juniors and informative to others. Review of past training: 16th & 17th Dec 2017 – SCJS training and Ash Ranges Selection race The juniors had a combined weekend trip – training on the Saturday with the South Central Junior Squad (SCJS), followed by competing in the junior selection event (Interland European competition) on Ash Ranges (near Guildford). 10 Juniors and 2 coaches went in a minibus and joined the SN training session just before lunch. The afternoon was just SCJS and EMJOS, focussed on relocation exercises and talking about recognising when relocating some distance saves time. The evening coaching session in the hall after swimming and supper was presented by Anthony Squire. It went through all the aspects of preparation “geeking” for the important big race. Assisted by Fiona Bunn and her international experience, we were completely ready for Ash Ranges: already knowing where the start and finish was likely to be, rough course routes and likely terrain to encounter. The juniors’ results were on the whole good times. 21st January Mansfield Woodhouse (Oxclose and Shirebrook areas tbc) 13 juniors and 5 coaches trained on a snowy Oxclose Woods near Mansfield Woodhouse, practicing pacing and compass bearings. The afternoon session was cancelled due to the weather. Page 5 EMEWS Future training Referring to the “O” Planner (spreadsheet on the EMJOS website showing major events and the likely interspersed dates for EMJOS training), the likely dates for training are: Saturday 10th February – Orienteering Federation Lakes training day (Tarn Hows) combined with a regional event at Black Beck (organised accommodation, training maps and 11 athletes booked, with 3 coaches).
