13 May: BKO Update

Congratulations to our new British Champions: Ian Cooper in the M70 Sprint Championships held at Aldershot Garrison on Saturday and Darrell Cruickshank took the M90 Middle Championships near High Wycombe on Sunday.  Ian also was third in M70 in the Middle Champs and we had two who just missed podium places coming fourth in their classes at the Middle Champs: Adam Methven in M10 and Martin Wilson in M65.  Well done to them all.

Summer Training - Wednesday Evenings

This is too late to remind you about this week’s training but next week (20th May) there will another one – a map memory training event at Lily Hill Park near Bracknell with a short beginners course also available.  See the event page for details (http://www.bko.org.uk/activity/lily-hill-park-20-may-15) and do check again before setting out in case of last minute changes.

Other Clubs

We are now heading to a quieter time for the main events in this area (although there are numerous ‘summer’ events taking place).  However if you are stuck for something to do this coming bank holiday weekend (23rd – 25th) you could consider ‘Springtime in Shropshire’ – 3 events in 3 days.  Pre-entries close this Sunday (17th).  See http://sins.org.uk/ for full details.
