Just a quick thanks to Kirsten, Fran and Helen who helped us out with teaching orienteering to the Young Hopetoun club on Saturday - a great day and the children certainly seemed to enjoy it :)

Small turnout to Tinto Twin but some good results. Horrendously miserable weather on Sunday but made all better (I think) by the pub lunch afterwards which is starting to become a regular Tinto Twin occasion :)
Here are the EUOC results:

M21L Overall
1. Spongey (1st both night and day)
2. Mike
Jamesy Lyne 2nd night, Simong 3rd night, Kaarel 9th night

M20L Overall

W21L Overall

Hollie 1st night

Well done all!

There is a new alumni website for EUOC:
http://alumni.eusu.ed.ac.uk/index.php?scontent&pOrienteering

It would be nice to get it sorted out and to have a collection of memories and information about the history (old and new) of EUOC in time for the 50th which is only 5 years away!

So if you can help us out please get in touch with Lucy at secretary@euoclegends.co.uk
Thanks!

Email from captain Jamesy Jamesy Lyne:

This coming wednesday, there will be a small training style event on Arthur's Seat for all abilities.

I will bring along a few maps with courses on and you are free to choose what you want and just go for it. (no controls will be put out).

Courses available - Orange - Good for beginners, relatively short (3km?)(help will be available for newcomers and beginners from the committee)
Short Green - 3-4km, TD5 - moderate climb
Blue - 6km, TD5 - hillier but nice

So to reiterate, this is a chance for all new club members and current ones to come and have a banterous orienteering session on holyrood park!

Meet at Pollock reception at 2:30pm.See you there!
