the Newsletter of Cornwall Orienteering Club PUNCH CHAIRMAN’S CHAT The next edition of PUNCH to be Dear Member, published in January, I hope – Sometimes everything goes wrong – and all copy for the next edition to be plans have to be shelved. I was down to with the Editor control the Hayle event – but………………… ASAP The computer suddenly decides not to Ranking Lists 2 & 3 work. In for repair; new power pack, new motherboard and still not working! So I can’t receive maps from the planner, Committee stuff 4 emails, play on-line poker, can’t do anything! Routegadget 4 An urgent call – will I represent England (yes, no mistake, D&C Night 6 England!) in Germany. As I can’t control – I agree. Oh! Not representing England at orienteering. It’s the European Spielchamps in Essen…………board gaming (but not Monopoly, Stithians 7 Ludo, Chess or Mousetrap) – against 33 other teams from all over Europe. Did we win? Nah! OMM 2009 7 Clutch going on car – so not very mobile. Will I be at the Quiz 9 Hayle event – unlikely? Visit friend to access emails on his computer. I have 185! A map? 10 Having just started a degree course all other students mail is sent to me too. WMOC 2009 12 th I find the AGM has been set for the 20 November and you World Tour 13 will be electing a new Chairman as my time is up! [Officers have a 3 year maximum term length - Ed] Reading? 15 This is probably my last Chat that I shall write and because of aforementioned computer I’m doing this by hand and giving Holidays 16 the script to the Editor. From now on the “Chats” will no doubt be relevant to Orienteering and I wish my successor every success in his or her new role. Forest League 19 Jock Presents 22 PS if I don’t see you before – Merry Christmas!! Fixtures 23 The Editor says; I have found some more quotations etc – enjoy!

No one has surpassed Phil Newall in attending in more events in the same class - yet. Parents are the bones on which children sharpen their teeth.- - - - Peter Ustinov 2 bring your BOF card to registration NOT THE SINGLE LIST ORIENTEERING RANKINGS This page shows a ranking list produced using a new “calculational” method proposed in AppendixK_rev.doc. The method is based on median/quartile statistics rather than mean/variance and all members are treated as belonging to a single class. The results are intended to be illustrative at this stage. It was hoped that the new system would be introduced officially on 1 January 2009 but 2010 might be more realistic. The competitor's total is the sum of the best six scores from the events held over the previous 12 months.

However, it is interesting, but don’t expect there to be exact correlation between this list and the previous one; you’ll see too that there are no L and S classes. I also note that some of our juniors are included as W21s.

Treasurer’s report: Available on request. Membership Secretary’s report: One new contact member. Fixture secretary’s report: All event dates for 2010 are now on the BOF website. Further details will be added once all our maps are registered. AGM: It was agreed to hold the AGM on Friday 20th November at Poltair School followed by bowling at Ozzell Bowl. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE HELD 3rd November 2009 Secretary’s report: Information forwarded to committee from BOF and SWOA re courses, conferences and useful web links. The proposed changes to the Yvette Baker Trophy for juniors were discussed and agreed. Treasurer’s report: Available on request. Membership secretary’s report: No changes. Latest BOF membership list received. Mapping: Roger is working on the extension to the Eden map. Volunteers are needed to help John Moody remap part of Lanhydrock over the Christmas period – contact John if you can help. Last events: Craddock Moor Galoppen was very well attended and went well. Thanks to all officials and helpers. Hardhead Down was a good event with innovative courses and very well organised by Ivor Marshall. Thank you. 2009 Programme: The programme is complete and now includes the Night league event at Lanhydrock on the 21st November. At the Mt Edgcumbe event on 6th December we will be serving mince pies and a drink after running and hope to see lots of you. Volunteers for planning, controlling or organising still needed for 2010. CLUB VOUCHERS There are still a number of Club Vouchers that have not been redeemed. If you have got one tucked away in a drawer at home or lying forgotten in the bottom of your kit bag then hunt it out and bring it along to our next event and enjoy a 'free' run. ROUTEGADGET I keep adding this to the magazine in the hope that more of you will have a look at it and add your routes. The map and courses are added after each event – although if your memory is good you can do it months later. It doesn’t take long and you might learn something about route choice from the other submissions. Not only that when you are preparing for the next event – have a look at the last time we went there and see if you can get your brain in gear! You can access RouteGadget from the Club website at www.kerno.orienteering.btinternet.co.uk or go straight to the clubs menu at www.kerno.routegadget.co.uk/cgi-bin/reitti.cgi And for those members who went to the November Classic they have now put Routegadget up for that event.
