A fantastic start to the festive season at Blackspout today for our Christmas Score event. Thanks to everyone who organised and volunteered today and thanks to you all for coming and making it one of the best events of the year. The Atholl Palace did a splendid job catering for 72. A few pictures here - head over to Facebook for more photos and chat.
Thanks to everyone involved in putting on and supporting today's 30th Birthday event for the club (also a South of Scotland Orienteering League event). And thanks for coming to share the day with us - the sun shone, drawing 160 of you out to help us celebrate! We hope you enjoyed the chance to run on our brand new map - generously supported by the Tay Landscape Partnership - and also the cake! Happy Birthday TAY. More of a write-up and photos to follow.
Tayside Orienteers warmly invite you to our informal forest sprint event at Dunkeld's lovely Hermitage. Please note in the results:- Medium course - runner was Ruaridh (not Doug) Flint and on Short Course runner was Kirsty Flint and not Cathy Tilbrook. Apologies this is coming up wrong.
The Jamie Stevenson Trophy, the annual inter-club orienteering event for junior teams from Scottish clubs, returned again this year to Perth's Kinnoull Hill.
Report from Club Coach Moira:- A big thank you to all those who came to our joint coaching session and event at Crieff today, in spite of heavy showers in the afternoon. Special thanks to Alistair and his new planning assistant, Stuart, for designing the courses, including the challenging "Norwegian" one; to Anne and Mike for volunteering for and taking on the role of organisers for the first time; to Finlay for help with set-up and dismantling, and volunteering to brave the rain to bring in all the training kites; to John for support with computing; to Fiona for organising car parking, and to Chris for his cheerful help with (wet!) tent dismantling and packing. Hopefully the coaching group will be more confident after their intensive session on compass work - they certainly put in a great effort afterwards going round the courses. Looking forward to seeing the updated club Championship points!) in due course.
Fantastic to see so many families out enjoying themselves on yet another gloriously sunny day. Thanks to Moira and Alistair for organising a superb coaching session then to Alistair, Aly, Donald and Elaine for planning and organising the event.
