Midlands Championships Results


EMOA Planners and Controllers Conference

A conference for experienced planners and controllers is being arranged for Saturday 27th April. It will be held at the same venue as last year’s conference i.e. Rushcliffe Country Park. Further details are available on the EMOA website: www.emoa.org.uk


National Forest Trophy

We have found it extremely difficult to select the competitor with the most 'outstanding result on the day' as there were so many excellent runs. We considered: who did well in regard to current form, who did well for their age class (young or old); who were running up from their usual colour and who just did consistently good legs. Eventually we are pleased to announce the winner of the National Forest Trophy is --- Finn Lydon.

Even though Finn’s dad did not vote for him the other officials felt he just out performed his rivals on speed, age and position.

The very close runners up were Harrison McCartney, Peter Leake, Paul Addison and Hilary Palmer. Also in the frame with commendable runs were Ethan Tebbutt, Mark Goodhead, John Embrey, Max Cole, Rachel Duckworth, Harrington Leake and John Duckworth.

Well done all!


CompassSport Cup 2013

Calling all members

It’s that time of year again when the club is competing in the Compass Sport Cup. This year we are hosting the regional heat at Fineshade on the 17th February. We have been drawn against SMOC, WAOC, DVO, SYO, NOC & NOR. For us to progress to the final we need as many club members as possible competing on all of the course’s.

After the success of the juniors in the Yvette Baker Trophy & the “ear splitting support” shown by the parents, I am hoping that we can replicate this on the 17th February.

LEI entries are via the Club Captain:
