Quick summary of you for those of you who didn’t go to the AGM:
Busy year: Forest Sprints, Summer Series, Level C events, Urban etc.
Scottish Champs in May – run jointly with MAROC
JIRCS in Sept – very successful, Ian coordinated whole w/e
GMC – Dave plus 2 Ians – no issues – might move it to April? No one has yet volunteered to organise the next one…..
Looking at getting new club kit – Ali Robertson will reveal all soon (?!)
Would like to organise more coaching- but need someone to plan it and liaise with coaches. If you’re interested please get in touch with the committee. You don’t have to be a medal-winning orienteer just enthusiastic and we can get you some training/mentoring.
It’s getting more and more expensive to run events, mainly levies on all events and Forestry Commission permissions on the larger events. Our aim is to keep the summer events at cost and on the level C events, which often have more costs attached try to make a small profit and help maintain a surplus in the account. So unfortunately entry fees have been raised …….. but we still think we are offer the best deal around.
So, for 2017:
Level D (summer series, urban sprint etc) £4 and £2
Level C £6 and £3
Week end away? Opportunity to do some coaching and go to big event as a club.
Adrian Will thanked all for effort and time over the year
Liz Sloan is our new Social Secretary – anyone got any ideas for club events other than curling this year?
