Happy New Year to you all!

At this time last year I was in a reflective mood, looking back at the highlights of the previous year, but much as I enjoyed 2003 as well I think it would be more positive to look forward to what the coming year will have to offer.

A likely highlight is the JK, in Lake District forests which are among the best this country has to offer, as I was reminded during a recent training tour there - it will be well worth travelling to. Closer to home there is the usual busy calendar of events all around the region, including the debuts of two areas not previously used for orient-eering at the East Anglian Champs. and Midland Night Champs.

The autumn will be a showcase for the region's organisational talents, as we are hosting the Junior European Cup and British Schools in successive months - I hope many of you will volunteer to help make these events a success.

So, much to look forward to, and I wish you all good luck for 2004, whether it be for success at major events, solid EAGAL performances or simply enjoying your Sunday mornings in the forest.

Chairman's Chat

I write this having recently returned from the final of the Yvette Baker Trophy, the junior equivalent of CompassSport Cup. WAOC staged a superbly organised event at High Ash with the sun shining and no hint of the recent rain. Well done to Ursula and her team. It was fantastic to see so many young people enjoying their sport - from members of the British Junior Squad down to primary age children. For me this is what makes the competition. Novice schoolchildren compete in the same team as the elite, united in running for their club. What an inspiration for them! I hope that I was watching some of the stars of the future on the run-in. I was actually there with the SOS team who narrowly beat NOR in the regional round. We finished 7th out of the 10 teams and I don't think disgraced the region. With 22 runners, we were one of only four clubs to complete a second team. And to everyone's delight, the winners were Aire (and not NOC who have won it on all previous occasions). The full results can be found at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/n.humphries/waoc/ybt2003/ybt2003.htm

The juniors have had a very busy autumn, with British Schools Orienteering Championships in addition to the Yvette Baker. Although the event was held in Delamere Forest near Chester, there was a good turnout from the region with some good results both in the Championships themselves and in the selection race for the World Schools that was held on the Saturday. Congratulations to Helen Gardner, of Hills Road 6th Form College and WAOC, the winner of Year 12 Girls, to Leanne Barnes of Wymondham College and NOR on her selection for the Junior Girls team for the World Schools and to Jo West of Ipswich School and SOS on selection as reserve for Senior Girls team. Jo missed out by 2 seconds on a medal in the Championship, finishing 4th in girls Year 11. Barnardiston Hall Preparatory School continued their good run in the competition finishing second in the Middle-Preparatory School section. Next year the event is to be held in East Anglia, so I hope we have an even bigger turnout of the region's schools.

When you look at the numbers of youngsters taking part in orienteering, you have to feel optimistic about the future of our sport. However, like most sports and organisations, we lack volunteers in many areas and increasingly too much is falling on the shoulders of too few. At the recent EAOA committee meeting, we were struggling for volunteers to act as officials for the regional round of CompassSport in March. This wasn't helped by the fact that SOS have a badge event 2 weeks before and NOR, the Double Dumpling the following week. So both these clubs were already stretched. Why bother with putting the round on at all, some might ask. Well if everyone thought like that, we wouldn't have any events! Actually, we make a reasonable amount of money from this, which is put back into the region. The regional junior squad are the main beneficiaries so we are investing in the future. And if anyone wants to argue that juniors just go off to university and we never get anything back from them, the planners for BSOC next year are both graduates of our junior squad.

The region has two particular skills shortages that we are hoping can be addressed in the spring. We need more active grade 2 controllers. Andrew Cordle is hoping to arrange a Grade 2 controller's course, so if you are a current grade 3 controller, please consider attending the course and work towards upgrading. We also need more coaches. Pauline Olivant will be running a level 1 and 2 course in Essex in April. This is the way to get started and will qualify you to work with schools and beginners.

It would be very easy to get depressed about the deficiencies of the region, but there is so much good work going on quietly in the clubs without any fuss that one has to be optimistic about the future. When you attend events like BSOC and the Yvette Baker, then you have to be heartened. So let's look forward to a successful 2004.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

Latest Fixtures News

Firstly, the HAVOC District Event at Weald Park, Brentwood, which was previously advertised as taking place on Sunday 11th January has now been moved to Saturday 10th January. It will also no longer be an EAGAL.

Secondly, the Midland Night Championships at High Ash will not now take place on 24th January. At this late stage the shooting tenant has withdrawn permission.

The event will now take place on Saturday 14th February, after the pheasant shooting season. This is the night before the SMOC Badge Event at Salcey Forest so there is still the opportunity to compete in two East Anglian events in one weekend.

The closing date for entries is now 2nd February. If you have already entered, but can't make the new date then your entry fee will be refunded. Entries for the MNC are now being dealt with by Ursula Oxburgh, 14 Bentley Road, Cambridge CB2 2AW; Phone 01223 357199; Email u.oxburgh@esc.cam.ac.uk. Cheques payable to WAOC. Fees are £7/£3 plus £1/50p if you wish to chance the limited EOD. In order to be competitive for the Midlands Night Championships, juniors should compete on the following courses:

Environment Workshop

The purpose of this workshop, held on 1st November, was to discuss environmental issues in relation to land access for orienteering.

Doug Kennedy, the BOF Environment Officer led the meeting and began with an overview of the regulatory bodies responsible for enforcing environmental legislation. In particular those bodies that are charged with regulating conservation areas. These are:

As all the attendees at the workshop were from England most of the time was spent discussing access issues in this country. Access issues in the other countries of the UK were discussed briefly.

The conservation areas are designated as:

It is these areas in England that English Nature is responsible for designating and notifying as such to owners and other interested parties. After an area has been designated, English Nature has the responsibility to police conservation matters but not to exclude access to the area. For example, rights of way can not be removed.

There does appear to be a more open attitude towards access for orienteering in conservation areas. However, restrictions on the time of year for events and limitations on numbers still apply for many areas. But at least many land owners and English Nature appear to be willing to discuss access requests rather than issuing a blanket refusal.

To quote from the English Nature's position statement on countryside recreation:

"English Nature has experience of managing a variety of recreational activities on its National Nature Reserves and on Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and can provide advice on good management practice. The key lessons are the need for careful forward planning and management of activities in special sites and close working with organisations and individuals involved in promoting, providing and managing recreational opportunities to ensure that there is no detrimental effect on wildlife and natural features. Important management techniques include locating or timing activities to reduce any adverse effects, the use of permits to control numbers, and the provision of advisory and regulatory signing and information. Other good practice measures include the development of codes of conduct and the use of liaison groups."

The emphasis is on forming partnerships between orienteering clubs, local land owners and English Nature where appropriate.

Other legislation and Government initiatives that were discussed during the workshop included CROW (The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000) and "exercise to combat obesity".

CROW, although it received Royal Assent in November 2000 has only been partly implemented, the remainder is awaiting commencement orders. CROW applies to individuals and land access on foot. It does not apply to organised activities so has little benefit for orienteering.

The Government's initiative on exercise to combat obesity has little in it on outdoor recreation. The report called "Game Plan" encourages mass participation but seems to be more interested in elite competition.

To conclude Doug said that if clubs were having difficulty getting land access because of conservation issues they should contact him for help and advice.

(Note, this workshop was held a few days before the news that English Nature may be scrapped; Lord Haskins' "Rural Delivery Review" is due to be published soon may suggest that English Nature be replaced.)

Junior Points East

Completing the series of reports on the travels of East Anglian juniors this summer, here is an account of a busy few weeks for Suzy Robertson:

My summers, orienteering wise, have followed a similar pattern for the last 5 or 6 years; a training camp to Scandinavia or Scotland for a week or two then back for the domestic multi-day event be it in Wales, Scotland or the Lake District. This year was very different: for a start I didn't make tour, so being disappointed I decided to plan a bit of an epic 3 weeks of orienteering. Maybe it would improve my orienteering but if all else failed it would be a laugh!

I started with the O-Ringen, followed that by the Scottish and ended with an amazing week in Switzerland, competing in the Swiss 6-days while spectating at WOC. It was a great few weeks but I thought I'd try not to bore you and just include a few highlights.

For a start just getting to the O-Ringen was great, it's an event I've wanted to go to for years but for various reasons this is the first time I've made it. I'd recommend any vaguely serious orienteer to go at least once. Everything from the militarily efficient bussing system, to the ridiculous numbers of campsites complete with purpose built washrooms, to running round your course on great Scandinavian terrain with loads of other people round you (very comic if you're as easily distracted as I am), to the twelve finish lanes to Swedish meatballs and cranberry sauce makes this a unique event. (It's in Gothenburg next year, one of the places that cheap flights go to so you've got no excuse!)

The highlight of the Scottish was the areas - I thought it was great to have a British multi-day with really good quality areas, a vey nice mix. Roseisle was a fantastic area, fast and technical, and Lossie is an area I've wanted to go for years ever since Nicola came back from tour one year raving about it. What made me laugh was that I ran past a man who'd just found his control in the really technical bit who was celebrating; he'd clearly been there a while.

During those three weeks I managed to compete in an orienteering race every day for twelve days (not necessarily very well, but I got round all the courses eventually). This happened because I thought it would be a good idea to compete in the park race on the rest day of the Scottish. (I thought it might be a quick sprint through some fields rather than several loops round and up a hill.) It was also due to meeting two very kind British orienteers in the check-in queue for my Zurich flight who offered me a lift to the first event in their hire car. (Thank you!) So having expected to spend the day on buses and trains and dozing at the campsite I was running up a Swiss mountain (well walking actually, they are incredibly steep and I can't do a very good mountain goat impression but it's OK, even Simone Luder was walking up some of the hills).

Watching the Union Jack raised to the sound of the National Anthem and being congratulated by the Swiss as we walked down the street simply because we had Union Jacks tied round our waists was definitely unforgettable. The day of the WOC sprint race we watched all the competitors race through the town, cheering loudly for the Brits and being deafened by the Swiss ringing cow bells. After the main event we walked into a nearby bar to watch a national television station broadcasting Simone Luder's victory laps live on television, before running into the back entrance of an incredibly hot ice stadium just as Jamie Stevenson was being presented his gold medal. We achieved a superb view by jumping onto some conveniently placed chairs, then realised about 5 minutes later as the spotlights came up behind us that the 'conveniently placed chairs' were cordoning off an area where a band was about to play the Swiss national anthem and where everyone was now looking.

Now the winter approaches and I'm again running in the cold and rain and trying to reorganise my day to run before it gets dark, I'll remember the summer. It reminded me of all the things I love about orienteering and why I spend so much of my free time doing this crazy sport. It was definitely a laugh and I regained my enthusiasm but as to whether it improved my orienteering only future results will tell.
