EDITORIALAs the nights draw in it may be time to reflect on our recent activities. The double colour coded weekend was very successful, attracting competitors from a wide area. It demanded a large input from organisers, planners and controllers but there were plenty of helpers to ease the load.On a less positive note we have had to cancel the local event at Draethon because of the lack of an organiser. No-one enjoys having to organise events but perhaps we shouldn’t expect the same people to always do all of the work. I somehow managed to download last years NGOC events and put them in this years calendar for which I apologise. I have been told that the NGOC calendar will be updated soon but it is always worth checking that an event is on before you travel!

| Committee NewsThe last meeting was spent discussing final details of the double event. Due to the lack of an organiser it was decided to cancel the Draethen event.The next meeting will be held on Wed 8th October at Nyall’s house.
SI CARDSAt last weekend's events several people who own their own ecards were surprised that their SI ecard nos. were not on the BOF DB, especially as some of them assured me the ecard no. was also on their BOF membership card.I contacted BOF about this, mentioning 2 families, the Ferrands & the Bryants, to whom this applied. It turned out BOF had their cards down as emit rather than SI. Nigel Ferrand confirmed with me his BOF membership card did have (Emit) after the number rather than (SI). BOF have corrected the Ferrands and Bryants, could others to whom this might apply contact BOF to get matter put right. Graham Tough | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Scottish 6 Day Event, ForresDespite my apprehension about camping we had a great time at the 6 day event. Whilst Cardiff was suffering the only rain of the summer we were basking in Scottish sunshine.The areas used were interesting and varied, two days included intricate sand dune areas which needed a 1:750 map and magnifiers for some. There were typical runable pine areas and a day with knee high heather fortunately the dry weather had shrunk most of the boggy bits. Each event needed maximum concentration and everyone seemed to make errors although some had fewer than others! The downside for those on the official campsite was that it was approx 15 mins walk to the Event Centre and the showers but the Portaloos on the site and those at the events were immaculate. Highlights of the week were dolphin and seal watching and the wonderful golden beaches. There were approx 25 SWOC members there and notable results were: Posn/ClassTotal Best Result M14A Jon Dallimore 8/42 4 M16A Rhodri Buffet 2/46 1 M21S Jeff Colbert 26/118 14 M21L Rhys Manning 14 M35S Malcolm Graham 19/68 12 M40L James Clemence 23/98 11 M45L Nick Dallimore 36/144 21 M65S Colin Powell 3/23 2 W12B Lizzie Clemence 4/29 2 W16A Clare Dallimore 15/40 6 W21S Michelle Tinker 28/85 13 W60L Judith Powell 2/48 1 W50L Jill Manning 7 |

LAGANLIA 2003It was very exciting to have been selected to go to Laggonlia and fortunately I was able to travel with Rhodri but we had to get up at 4am! We met up with most of the others on tour at Manchester and travelled the rest of the way together.Laggonlia is a small outdoor pursuits centre close to Aviemore. The boys stayed in a separate log cabin with a large grass area for football whilst the girls were in the main building next to the dining hall. There were 22 of us altogether with 15 adults to look after us. We trained in the morning and afternoon on local areas at Inshriach, Strathmashie, Craig Brui ,Anagach and Achlean. These were typical Scottish forests with plenty of ticks and brashings. The biggest tick total for the week was 100! Fortunately it wasn’t mine. Although it was very tiring I learnt a lot and it was very interesting meeting GB Squad members . My highlight of the week was falling into a bog up to my armpits.
