I tried to make sure that everyone enjoyed the event and had to think about how to collect the most controls early on. It was a nice day and we had lots of new faces joining us. Thanks to Gethyn for organising everything.

Hi All,

Miscellaneous

This event was founded on Boxing Day 1978 by Elizabeth Brown. Elizabeth was a top class orienteer, in the early years of SO. She helped put SO on the map and regularly won the British Champs and JK throughout her career and twice won gold at the World Masters Champs. Following her passing in May 2011 it was felt a fitting tribute to rename the annual Christmas event in her memory. Elizabeth's family donated her splendid and unique slate W70 trophy from the 1992 JK at Bigland in the Lake District. An age-related handicapped system is used to determine the winner each year based on their performance in the 60 minute class. Read more about previous winners of the trophy here.
