Note that due to the current foot and mouth outbreak at the eastern end of our area, some of the local events have been changed around.
The Saturday Event on 10th November has been moved to Dinton Pastures
The Saturday Event on 19th January has been moved to Swinley East - hopefully the outbreak will all be finished by then!
Those who attend the Army Events on Wednesdays also need to note that the Army Event on 24th October - organised by the SCOA Junior Squad - has been moved from Swinley to Star Posts, parking at The Lookout.
Sorry that these thoughts are a little bit delayed!
Well, it was a wild and windy day, wasn't it. I was dragooned into helping WIM pitch their tent in the wind, but since they opted to put it in a large bramble patch in the forest, I declined the option to stay in it.
We didn't win though. Not as badly as we could have - our main problem is the lack of numbers in some age classes. Good performances by some - especially Ian Cooper, Alex Moore and Liz Yeadon - helped to keep our performance up. We need to recruit more fast runner in some age classes - any ideas?
