SYO are having a Summer Social Event on Sunday 22nd June.  The event will comprise some sort of Orienteering on the Walkley Street Map – could be individual, could be teams/relay to be made on the day, could be something else.  It will be followed by a BBQ.  The O’ing is likely to be held in the afternoon with the BBQ going on into the evening.  Everyone is welcome.

SYO teams won 3 of the 7 classes at the Harvester Relays competition held near High Wycombe.  The overnight relays, for teams of 7 in the A course and teams of 5 on the B course, were held in the Chilterns on an area that was technically quite challenging, with large patches of holly in the forest making accurate navigation difficult, especially at night.

SYO won the Harvester Trophy (Mens Open, on the A course), the Handicap Trophy (also on the A course) and the Womens' Handicap Trophy (on the B course).  Team members enjoyed a champagne breakfast with bacon butties in the morning sunshine - thanks and well done Tim as Club Captain.

Congratulations to Oli Johnson for retaining his M21E British Champion title, and all the other SYO and ShUOC successes. Link to BOF article.

Other SYO British Champions are Bill Edwards (M40L) and Peter Gorvett (M60L), while in the relays SYO won the M40 and W40 categories, with 2nd and 3rd places in several other classes.

The Culbin sand-dune forest was great, and so too was the weather.  An excellent weekend all round, and well worth the long trip north.
