23rd December 2002 : Team events in 2003
-
All Gophers please be aware ... in 2003 we have the CompassSport Cup in March, JK Relays in April,
and the British Relays in May. You will need to enter the CompassSport Cup yourself as an
individual in your usual age group, but we may need to shuffle a few folk about if we are
lacking in some classes. For now just get your entry in, and we will worry about the team
nearer the time. All club members who enter will be informed of the course they will be
running nearer the time.
Early in tne new year we will need to get entries in for the two major relay competitions. As in previous years you will need to make a firm commitment, and pay for your entry in advance. More details will follow as soon as we have them, but for now just make a note to leave the Easter weekend (19th - 21st April), and the weekend of the 17th - 18th May free for the JK and BOC. Both events are comparitively close this year, so we should get a good GO turnout ... I hope!

While we all wallowed in the bogs in the New Forest on Sunday, Andy Webb took time out to
run in the New York Marathon, and recorded an excellent 3hr 11min 51sec for 1182nd place.
As well as running a great race, Andy has also raised funds for I believe Macmillans
Cancer relief ... well done Andy. Fancy a long road run this weekend??

during Easter week 2003.
In addition you can come to Spain for Training Camps, and train on new terrain every day. There are 20 maps of different areas, with 350 controls, in Andalusia in the south and in the Madrid area.
As well as orienteering, Spain offers a multitude of other activities and cultural experiences to enjoy.
All orienteers from the Elite to beginners are welcome.
