Berkshire Orienteers - AGM and Club Dinner

Photo Challenge - Whiteknights

18/11/10: Please note that this course is now full. There will be more such courses over the next 6 months or so.

As part of a series of roadshows, British Orienteering will be visiting Reading on Wednesday 13th October - the roadshow is open to any full member and this is the closest of the series to BKO. Roadshows will cover the Competition Review, the 4 tier event structure, plans for the future development programme and much more.

History was made on Saturday September 4^th, when a highly-motivated and extremely efficient BKO team managed to beat a strong SOC team in the Dorset Coast Path Relay. Our winning margin was just 30 seconds after a relay of 100 kms lasting almost nine-and-a-half hours! At last we reaped a reward from our third year of entry into this unique event.

A reminder that if you are coming to the Club BBQ after the Wednesday Event at Dinton Pastures on 21st July, please let Katy Stubbs know as soon as you can  (numbers and if you are vegetarian).

We regret to announce that, while running in the Sprint Race at Bicton College on the first day of the Jan Kjellstrom Orienteering Festival on Good Friday 2nd April 2010, one of our members, Dave Stubbs, collapsed and died.  Dave had orienteered for many years and was both an active competitor, organiser and event controller.  I'm sure we all will wish to join in sending condolences t

As announced in the January newsletter, our club’s AGM and Annual Dinner will be taking place at Hurst Village Hall, in the village of Hurst between Reading and Wokingham.  The AGM provides club members a chance to review the past year and consider details of the club’s finances.
