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 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. Future Events: (i) 25 Feb 2018 – Yvette Baker Trophy – LEI – Cademan (ii) 18 March 2018 - Midland Champs 2018 – LEI – Belvoir (iii) 29/30 Sep 2018 – JIRCS 2018 – DVO – Chatsworth / Carsington (iv) 30 Sep 2018 – East Midlands Score Champs – DVO - Carsington (v) 16 Dec 2018 – East Midlands Champs – NOC – Dukeries (vi) 17 March 2019 – CompassSport Cup Heat – NOC – Sherwood Pines (vii) 14/15 Sep 2019 – British Sprints / Middle 2019 – LEI / DVO – Loughborough / Chinley Churn (DVO need to get the officials formally approved) (viii) 8 Dec 2019 – East Midlands Champs – LOG - Grimsthorpe (ix) 11 Feb 2020 – Midland Champs 2020 – DVO – Shining Cliff Future Possible Events (i) CompassSport Cup Final 2021? (Note: not sure we could do this in same year as British) Page 4

EMEWS (ii) British / British Relays 2021 – Still under discussion as to location. (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). Saturday 4th March – training in the East Midlands – to be planned Sunday 25th March – possible extra training post EML @ Byron’s Walk Weekend 22nd and 23rd April – training and competing in sprint, urban and Northern Champs (selection race for most summer tours and Talent Squad). To be planned Sunday 13th May – training day Sunday 17th June – possible extra training post EML @ Stanton Moor Selections: Ben Squire (M14/NOC) has been selected for the team for the Interland match in March (to be held in Netherlands). EMJOS Website: with the expertise of Ben O’Donnell (Junior DVO) the new look website has been worked on and updated. The next steps are to reinstate the links to the page from EMOA and local clubs and keep adding new material to the different pages. The technical linking is being done with the support of Steve Kimberley and the knowledge of John Cooke. Ann-Marie attended the JROS AGM and meeting on 11th November 2017 in York. Ann-Marie is taking her outdoor first aid (remote mountain area) course (2 days) with SYO. Anthony Squire and John Mather completed the L2 Coaching course and have now got the 5 practical sessions / follow on tasks to complete in the coming 6-12 months to achieve full qualification.

There was discussion at the East Midlands meeting in January to discuss whether we should continue with 8 events counting towards the League this year as we had lost an event due to the DVO Level B event at Eyam (2017 East Midlands Champs) being postponed from the end of 2017 and replacing the event planned for Birchen Edge which was to be part of the East Midlands League. However, the plan is to have half the events plus one counting (to a maximum of 8) and as we have 14 events planned then that would still be 7 + 1, so 8 will continue to count this year. ----ooo---- Fixtures This fixture list is intended to list all major events in the UK, and all East Midlands events. It includes all the information available to me about the event at the time of going to press. Details on entry are normally available on the club sites. Unless otherwise stated, Local events offer entry on the day (EOD) to a range of colour coded courses with start times from 10:30 to 12:30. Some will provide a wider range of courses than others. Regional events provide colour coded within which age classes can be run. National events provide a range of age related courses and are normally entered in advance. The OS map reference is either the car park or point from which the event will be signposted. The list is based on BOF registration, but events are sometimes cancelled. If you are uncertain of whether an event will be on, check with the organiser. The editor takes no responsibility for wasted journeys.
