Well done to all those who went to the JIRC in Yorkshire this weekend. We might not have won, but there were some good solid performances and none of you let yourselves down. Next year, we hope that there will be a full team, so that the results should be even better.

Well done to all those juniors who came up to Yorkshire last weekend to run in the Championships.

Everybody did well, and there were some outstanding runs from several juniors. As a small region, we may not always be able to win, but we can certainly compete with the best of them.

I have put a few photos of squad members and helpers from the British Relays and the JK Sprint on my orienteering photo stream. I've not put them here to save server space. Let me know if you would like a higher quality copy of any of them.

Saturday 5th May 2007 was the British Champs on Pwll Du, Blenavon, South Wales and the weather was as hot as the competition over testing, intricate terrain. All squad members who competed seemed to do well. We also had podiums with Anne winning W18L, and also from our coach/helpers with Roger T winning M45L, Roger B winning M75L and Carol coming 3rd on W50L. Well done everybody!

Squad members were to the fore at the JK international event in the sunny Forest of Dean on 7th and 8th April 2007.

Podium places were gained by Thomas [2nd, M12B], Tamsin [1st, W14B], Peter [2nd, M14A] and Anne [1st, W18L], together with several creditable performances from other squad members. Well done to all the squad members who took part!

It was a good weekend for Anne at the Spring Cup in Denmark [23 to 25 March 2007]. She picked up Gold in the relay [part of the GB Start squad's W17-18 team] and Silver in the Classic event [W17-18E], both excellent results. Well done Anne!
