An ‘O’de Jim Prowting TVOC Death to the planner Who hid a control In ten foot high bracken In a specially dug hole.
On a featureless hillside Except for the hole In what he thought was amusing To hide a control.

A round-up of events Tamsin Moran Welsh Champs My dad and I travelled to Pwll Du near Abergavenny in South Wales for this year’s Welsh Champs. Some people may remember the area from the British Relays in 2007, but for those who haven’t been there before, it is typical Welsh mountainside enhanced by some spoil tips from redundant coalmines, with some intricate contour detail. We left early on the Sunday morning, and soon after we crossed the Severn Bridge it began to snow. Consequently cagoules were made compulsory, which was probably a good idea as the area was also very exposed. I ran the blue course, and we were immediately thrown in the most technical part of the area. Having not been orienteering on open mountainside of this type since the JK last year, I struggled to get into the map, and consequently lost time on the first couple of controls. After this I began to get into the flow of things and had a pretty good run. We had a mixture of longer and shorter legs which certainly required concentration. Unfortunately my dad beat me by just over 3 minutes, but I really enjoyed the area and still glad that we made the journey. The village hall proved to be very popular with competitors after the event, where one could warm up, stay dry and enjoy some fine food courtesy of the Welsh Junior Squad. Malvern Urban Race I attended the Midland Championship’s weekend with the South Central Junior Squad and we had the option of running the Urban race or doing some training and the majority opted to do the Urban race, so this is what we all did. The weather was fine the map was good and the area was a mixture of urban, parkland with a small bit of woodland. There was only a little fine navigation required, but some long legs had some excellent route choices where clearly the right choice led to some time saving, but this was only apparent on the post-race visit to WinSplits. The squad visited the local swimming pool for some fun, games and a shower and in the evening we had dinner at a fish and chip shop. We were intending to go ten pin bowling, but it seemed like the local population had similar ideas, so we aborted this idea and went back to our village hall. Midland Champs Harlequins hosted this year’s Midland Champs on Foxley and Garnstone, part of an area once used for a JK. The terrain was a complete contrast to the previous weekend. The map in the assembly area did not look inspiring, but we just hoped that the brashings, which appeared to cover 80% of the map, had been removed. I had 40metres of climb to my first control, and I’m sure many other courses had more than that. The orienteering in itself was pretty straight forward, but once you got off the paths, it was very slow going as it was very brambly and clearly the ground cover had not improved! The feeling of many attending the event was that the area was not up to championship standard and those running the senior courses would not be in a hurry to return given the options of path running or bramble hoping. As for the good points, the weather was fantastic and a complete contrast to the previous week’s snow and the walk to the start was picture postcard stuff. As for the event food, well we were spoilt for choice with the local village selling a huge range of cakes, soup, etc., the West Midland Junior Squad’s cake stall and another retailer that sold very tasty chilli! junior SOCK Edited by Tamsin Moran

Queen Elizabeth Forest Anthony Simmons There were quite a few surprises at this event. Who would have expected such a steep climb from the Master Maps to the second control. Straight up from the valley floor to the top of the hill! And who would have expected Stig Berge, Norwegian champion, to appear at the registration table in St John’s College? Surely he wasn’t impressed with the quality of the black and white map? Nevertheless the event produced some interesting results and generated some interest in the local press. Not 2012 but 1969, and to my best knowledge the first orienteering event to be held on what is now Queen Elizabeth Country Park. The article on the left was submitted by “Wayfarer” otherwise known as Keith Parris, who contributed weekly articles on orienteering to the Southern Evening Echo for many years. Current SOC members at the event were Ray Massey, John Clarke, Di Smith (then Di Raggett) and Nick Bosbury. I competed on the boys’ course (map below).

Should I Zig or should I Zag now? Pete Davis At the Ocknell event I sought the advice of wise orienteering minds on why I seemed to drift off course when running through wooded areas. None were available but Colin and Simon would do, surely? Well, they said, you’ll be zigging. Zigging? I asked. Yes, they said, zigging. And that is your problem. Problem? I said. Well, pray kind Sirs, how can I overcome this problem I have? That is simple, they replied, you need to mix in a healthy dose of zagging. In fact, they went on, unless you run with a balance of zigging and zagging, when running through open woodland on a bearing, you will, Sir, drift off course. Problem solved. Orienteering in New Zealand – February 2012 Lisa James Touring New Zealand in February I took the opportunity to check out a few Orienteering events. MapTalk, New Zealand’s Orienteering calendar was my starting point for club sites and event information. The frequency of public transport to rural areas in New Zealand is limited, so I wasn’t able to get to ‘regional’ events, instead enjoyed urban / parkland events at Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland. Taking a break from spotting yellow-eyed penguins, seals and Royal Albatross on the Otago Peninsular, I pitched up at Dunedin OC first Summer Series event at Logan Park. Logan Park, is one of Dunedin’s biggest sports grounds covering the steep inclines towards the summit of Signal Hill (393m). Four courses of increasing technical ability were on offer. You had to mark up your own map and pin punching was in play. I undertook the Orange course (4.6km). The winning time was 31mins and I was 4th out of 19, taking 44 mins. For a Wednesday evening the event attracted over 70 competitors, a mix of adults and children and ran until dusk. New Zealand’s landscape, vegetation and wildlife are extremely diverse. All shades of mapped green areas were much less run-able than I expected. Areas of light green for example included dense subtropical bush with tall tree ferns reducing visibility. In general, the vegetation wasn’t too jaggy, but was tough going, requiring full use of all limbs to push through. Central Park in Wellington was the second event I attended, approx 2 miles NE of the City, a municipal park extending over hillside. Wellington is tightly encircled by hills and woodland Town Belt. Prepared for the bush I was challenged on this occasion by the gradient, path network and wooded gullies. Four courses were on offer - I did a red course (2km). As an early starter my time and that of others was compromised by an incorrectly positioned control mid-way around (# 6). After that I took a bad fall and carried a whopping bruise around with me for rest of my holiday. Personally I found the map colour for paths hard to distinguish but that was the same for all. Of the 32 entries on the 2km course the top times were 1st 29.06, 2nd 35.31, 3rd 40.57 – it took me 68 minutes....shocking, but I wasn’t last! Yvette Baker, a member of Wellington OC, was there and asked to be reminded to a few members of SOC. (Map © Wellington Orienteering Club, reproduced with kind permission from Jane Harding and Alan Horn, Wellington OC.) The third event was at The Domain in Auckland, vast parkland sprawling an extinct volcano known as ‘Pukekawa’ (‘hill of bitter memories’ referring to historical inter-tribal fighting). The Domain, with its mix of open parkland, formal flower beds, palms, woods and bush areas, provided scope for four levels of pre-marked pin punching course: 7.4km, 4.6km, 2.4km and 1.9km. The Domain is a very popular area and on the night there were three or four cricket games in play, tournament of 5-aside football, hockey, runners, orienteers and picnicking families all out enjoying the sunny evening. SOCK 183 April 2012 6
As courses were planned to cross pitches and pavilions route choice was restricted, course lengths increased and extra awareness was needed to dodge spectators and projectiles. The winning time for 4.6km course was 28 mins - I finished half way down the field of 85 in 51mins. Over 200 people attended Auckland Orienteering Club’s SummerNav Event on that Tuesday evening...an impressive turnout. I enjoyed all events I managed to get to. Although short on distance, the terrain, vegetation and completing the courses without use of a compass provided novel challenges. The spirit of the sport is the same there as here, with club members all welcoming, supportive and delighted to have attracted an overseas visitor to their local event.
Missing Keys Jean Velecky Several keys are missing. They are Forestry Commission: orange tag; and Equipment Store: blue tag and yellow tag. I try to keep a note of whom I have issued keys to, but they sometimes get passed on from one person to another so that I lose track of them. So please look through your key collections if you think you might have one. The IT Project Peter Stewart and Pete Davis Over the past few months we have been gathering equipment, software and expertise together so that we can use club IT equipment to manage our local events. The process has taken a lot longer than we expected – it has taken six months to get to the stage where we can manage our first event, Summer Series 1 at Southampton Common on 21st April. SOCK 183 April 2012 7
The project was established with the objectives of improving event management and providing better results information to competitors. As time goes on we aim to meet the secondary objective of becoming self-sufficient to run Level C events. During the assessment phase we were ably assisted by Terry Smith and have carefully considered three different orienteering event management applications: - eTiming from EMIT. This would seem to be the natural choice. The Club has a licence to use it and it is provided by the company that designs and makes the timing equipment we use. However our assessment did not go well on ease of use. Entry on the day is not well supported and we were advised that we should consider formal training from EMIT UK in its use. On the plus side, Terry Smith has an entry-on-the-day application that should be ready to use with Windows 7 in the near future. - Mulka 2. This software was originally developed for WOC 2005 in Japan. It is free to use for up to 200 competitors and boasts some impressive functions – although more suited to big events than small ones. Again, entry on the day is not supported but this could be a contender if we ever got to the stage of running our own IT for the November Classic! Out of the box you get multi-screen scrolling results and a fantastic download report for each competitor showing full splits analysis and real-time results. - eResults Lite. Created by a company in Finland. The application is free to use but only runs on one computer. There is a “Pro” version available suitable for running larger events. Lite does support entry on the day and a runner register (the BOF database). It is very easy to use but has limited functionality. Peter has used eResults Lite previously and, as we were doing our testing, we struck up an email conversation with the designers. It became apparent that they are already developing “Lite” to work at bigger events using two or more laptops. They were also very receptive to our feedback on making the software more suitable for UK events. We still have some work to do but we are keen to see some benefits coming out of the project sooner rather than later. Therefore we have decided to use eResults Lite for the Summer Series and it gets its first run out at the Southampton Common event. This will allow us to refine the assessment process and allow some time for the development of the applications on the basis of our feedback. We are keen to have more Club members involved in the assessment – if you are interested please get in touch. Caption Competition Your chance to win one of three fantastic prizes: - Free entry to a Summer Series event of your choice - A spare thumb band for your EMIT brikke - A brand new, never been used EMIT backup card All you need to do is think up a witty caption for this photo of David Currie at the British Nights and submit it by email to [email protected] and don’t forget to provide your contact details. Closing date for entries – April 30th.

Notice of Club AGM Andrew Nash SOC AGM, Friday 25th May, 7.30pm The 2012 SOC AGM will be held at on Friday 25th May at 7.30pm at Fleming Park Leisure Centre, Eastleigh, SO51 9NL. Please note the change from the original date of 18th May. The AGM is open to all club members. It will include the usual review and discussion of club business, election of the new Committee and presentation of club trophies. Refreshments will be available; there is also a bar on site. Following the AGM there will be a finger buffet and hopefully also a presentation of general interest, which will finish by 10pm. If there is any issue you would like to be discussed at the AGM, please let me know by the end of April. Appeal for new Committee members All Committee positions are up for re-election, and any active member of the club may stand for any position. A list of the current Committee is at http://www.southampton- orienteers.org.uk/committee. The following five positions are vacant or will be vacated, so we would particularly welcome anyone with an interest in standing for any of: Chairperson: Chairs Committee meetings, oversees the functioning of the Committee and acts as the ambassador for the club. Treasurer: Oversees the club's finances. Permissions Officer: Liaises with the Forestry Commission and other landowners to secure permission for events. Publicity Officer: This is a new role, co-ordinating aspects of publicity such as the website and Summer Series leaflets. Schools Liaison Officer: Supporting the development of orienteering in local schools, colleges and universities. More detailed descriptions of Committee posts are available in the members' area of the website. Alternatively contact me or the existing postholder for more details. Clearly we need these positions to be filled, so if you'd like to have a go, play a central role in the club and help contribute to its success, please get in touch. Club Trophies At the AGM trophies will be presented to the winners of all classes in the SOC League, as well as special awards (decided by the Committee) for outstanding performance. However, there are two "booby prize" awards, for which we would like you to make nominations. These are: The Depression: awarded for suffering orienteering-related bad luck, either while competing or doing some other relevant activity - eg as an event official. Last year's winner had suffered a nasty injury; a previous winner had her bike stolen. These are things which deserve sympathy. The Pits: awarded for self-inflicted orienteering-related misfortune. Last year's winner got herself disqualified three times in one day; a previous winner lost his e-card down a portaloo. These are things which, although they may deserve sympathy, also deserve an element of ridicule. I need your nominations for these awards . . . you may also nominate yourself if you think you deserve them. The most deserving tales of woe will win. SOCK 183 April 2012 9
Chairman's Report Colin Hicks Well my three years is up and by our constitution I must relinquish my post. I have been on the SOC committee since 1984 with a break between 1987 and 1990. It is with mixed feelings that I am standing down. I will amplify that in my AGM address. On the upside we have established the Summer Series, 2012 being its third year. Also in 2012 we will have three events in the New Forest in the late summer/early autumn. In 2010 and 2011 we had August events in Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst, this year we intend to supplement that event with two other smaller ones, with the aim of attracting the Summer Series participants a little further afield into the New Forest, prior to the traditional orienteering season. This year the committee have decided to fully fund junior relay representative teams in JK, BOC, Yvette Baker, and Peter Palmer competitions. On the downside I had a dream that we would have re-vamped all our publicity material and maps for the permanent courses, this is a disappointment to me that it has not been achieved. At one site we have the paying public getting a poorly photocopied black and white map, which is at least 12 years old, and told to mark up the permanent course from a dog- eared colour map. This does not promote SOC in a good light or offer an enjoyable experience to the people taking part. I hope the new committee can find time to address this. We have the British Orienteering AGM coming up at the JK and I want to share with you the effect on the new membership and levy proposals for SOC. Membership for 2013 is proposed at £5 for seniors and £2 for juniors and the levy at £1 per adult for every run and 33p for juniors, with no family membership. As we know current membership fees are higher than the proposal and the 2013 levy will start at the first competitor - currently the first 60 are exempt. At the recent SCOA meeting Mike Forrest the current BO Treasurer indicated the figures stack up across the country with the new proposed fees, to be income neutral. However, when we ran the SOC 2011 membership and levy returns against the new criteria we found the following:- Membership to British Orienteering at 2011 fees £2,584, SOC membership £522 - using the new proposed 2013 fees would be £705 to British Orienteering and still £522 to SOC. On the levy you would presume with all the Level D events (eg Summer Series) now subject to levy charges the amount to British Orienteering would go up considerably. However as the levy charges on level C and B events will decrease the effect is as follows: At 2011 levy fees £3,418, and using the 2013 proposal £1,785. So as a committee we are somewhat bemused as the 2013 proposals would result in SOC paying much less money to British Orienteering. We have concluded that SOC must be a far from average club, as the British Orienteering proposal is supposed to be overall income neutral, with the cost savings occurring on the current administration costs. I for one remain to be convinced! Thanks to Simon Bevan for organising and planning the Saturday Level D event on Ocknell, prior to the British Night Championships that evening on Hamptworth, we had a good turnout as it was jointly promoted with SARUM. Also to Jes, Keiran and team for a good event at QECP, allbeit with a slightly disappointing turnout as it was a SCOA League event. Well thanks to everybody who has supported me in my Chairmanship and I will see you at the AGM - Note date change to May 25th. By the way if anyone has a burning desire to take over the Chairman's role give me to ring if you wish to know more. SOCK 183 April 2012 10
Membership Secretary’s Report Peter Stewart The membership currently stands at 172, divided between 169 British Orienteering members and 3 associates. We would like to extend a warm welcome to new members Sally Topsom, Robert Sweatman and the Hicks family: Roger, Julia, Edward and Poppy. We look forward to meeting you at upcoming events. Fixture Secretary’s Update Jillian Devine The Level C event at Queen Elizabeth Country Park saw a low turnout for a SCOA league. Note to self: Next year avoid Mother’s day! Kieran Devine discussed the permanent orienteering course (POC) with Tim Spellar, Park Manager and will provide three courses based on controls used at the event. Some helpers did three shifts. So we need to find a way to encourage more Club members to help at future events. And talking of future events: August 18th Level D sprint/urban at Lyndhurst - no offer to plan yet. Volunteer anyone? September 9th Busketts Lawn SCOA league - Parking could be an issue. If not resolved we may need to consider moving event to October when the campsite closed. Organiser needed. Volunteer anyone? August 30th Lepe Country Park. The Park has requested we put on a ‘have a go’ session at their fun day. Anyone prepared to organize? October 13th Level D Slufters. Planner and organiser needed. November 3rd - Southampton Urban. Now listed in SEOUL (South England Orienteering Urban League). Registered as Level C. Colin Hicks / Tim Sands planning/organizing. Roger Thetford to Control. November 4th - Classic 2012 - In hand December 8th Level D Ashurst Wood. Planner and organiser needed. Welfare Officer Report Jillian Devine The list of current first aiders has now been posted to the Event Organisers Guide to be found in the Documents section of the website.
