09 Feb 2010 2010 Helpers List
We're compiling a new helpers list, and would like to give you the chance to express your preference for a
particular team. Copies of the preference form were handed out at the prizegiving dinner, but if you
weren't there or were but missed out, they can be found here.
Fill in and return to Alex Morgan before the end of next week or we'll have to decide for you.
Also at the prizegiving, World Masters M60 champion Andy Hemsted received honorary life membership of HOC.
23 Jan 2010 New HOC Top
Matthew Evans has produced three proposals for a new design of HOC top. It's now up to the membership to vote
on which one they prefer. The Chairman would like to be able to announce the favoured design at the
annual Prizegiving Dinner on 05 Feb, which is quite soon but time enough (for most people!) to make a decision. Click on the
thumbnail or here to view the full-size poster and make your vote count.
And the winner, announced at the prizegiving dinner, is... #1!
09 Jan 2010 Winter Evening Event news
Barry H says: They are back,
(well at least one is anyway). Yes the WEE's start up again, a little late this season but worth the wait. The first event will be on Thursday 28th Jan at Highgate Common, but not the overgrown bramble-strewn Highgate Common you knew from the event held last Summer; this is all runnable and avoids any controls in the grot .We have exclusive use of the visitor centre carpark complete with super new toilet block and hopefully power to enable SI units to be used. Normal 1 hour score format, pre printed maps, prices £3 seniors £1 juniors. Just turn up between 6 and 7pm at the Triangle carpark, map ref SO 835895, and bring your SI dibbers. Barry Houghton on email
or 01902 894890. SEE YOU ALL THERE.
Volunteers, get in quick to put on further events in this series to ensure there is a series. Planning and organising these events is simple and straightforward, and I will give whatever help I can. Please respond urgently to Barry at the above email address."
Jan 2010 Laurie Bradley New Year's Day Score Results
The rules for the event stated that once a Part 2 control had been punched, any Part 1 controls punched do not count. So we've now checked the splits with a fine-tooth comb and adjusted the scores accordingly - which fortunately (for us!) doesn't quite change the overall result (pre-adjusted scores in brackets) below:
TSB Trophy (highest scoring M/W18): Sophie Kirk OD

CompassSport Cup final - we couldn't hold on to our early lead, but came a very creditable 5th. CSC Results...
...and that was without Andy Hemsted, who was busy down under winning the World Masters M60 title. Congratulations also to Colin Spears, 2nd in the M70B final. WM Results...

It may well be the highlight of Advent - more fun than shopping, anyway. This year's HOC Club Champs takes place at Callow Hill (possibly the best orienteering terrain in Worcestershire) on Sat 19 Dec. Various age class prizes will be up for grabs, plus the prestigious Bert Pardoe handicap-adjusted trophy which all are eligible for. The event will be followed by a bring & share social at Kinlet Village Hall.
All club members welcome - bring some food and a small raffle prize for the social.

Adrian Bailey took his turn on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square as part of
Antony Gormley's One and Other art event at lunchtime on 11 Sep. Whilst he ran a series of
very short courses on the plinth...
...a group of orienteers from London area clubs put on a slightly longer series of courses in the square below.
The idea
is that each course forms the shape of a letter and in succession the courses should spell out a message.
What's the message? Well, see
Simon Errington's blog.
Watch the video of Adrian's stint and follow the "Roger's Night Shift" link to footage of an earlier plinth-based orienteer on his participants' blog.

HOC Needs You (if you're a HOC member) to run in the CompassSport Cup final
at Fineshade, near Stamford, Lincs on Sunday 18 October.
Unlike the qualifiers, the final will require pre-entries, so please contact John Embrey by Friday 25 Sep. Keep an eye on the Forum for updates.
Why not make a weekend of it? - Ruth Lockley has organised some Saturday night accomodation (see the Forum) and the Cambridge City Race on the Saturday would make a useful warm-up - but don't overdo it!
Here's a reminder of how we qualified:
At Last! HOC Qualify for the CompassSport Cup Final Club Captain John Embrey writes...
Many, many thanks to everyone who turned out yesterday at Weston Heath and made it such a
successful day. According to me:
OD 2,399
HOC 2,358
WCH 2,010
Yesterday shows that we can challenge the best if we can get a full team out...
I am convinced we can shock some other "big" clubs with a strong tradition in the final.
So PLEASE all put the date of Sunday 18 October in your diaries now, for the trip to Leicestershire,
near Corby. Let's go and show what we can do. Once again, a BIG BIG "thank you" to everyone.

Plinth-O returns to Trafalgar Square as HOC's Adrian Bailey has won an
hour on the fourth plinth as part of Antony Gormley's One and Other art event on Friday 11 Sep. The details are under wraps (or maybe haven't been worked out yet) but apparently it will be orienteering-related. He's due to step from the cherrypicker at 1:00pm.
If you can't make it down to London to watch his stint, you can view the online live coverage. Find out more about Adrian's bit and follow the "Roger's Night Shift" link to footage of an earlier plinth-based orienteer on his participants' blog.
