Organisers Comments

Thank you to everyone who helped on the day to make this event the success it was. I received a number of very favourable comments saying how well everything had run, and I think this is testament to the Droober “machine”! 

I would like to thank especially John Boden for his challenging course and for the fact that he (and his family) rolled and sealed over 300 maps for distribution at the start. Thanks should also go to Lester Hartman who conscientiously controlled the event with is usual skill and enthusiasm. In addition I’d like to thank Elizabeth and Paul Furness for looking after the registration and scoring processes, and without whom you would have had one extremely frazzled organiser.   

I’m sorry for the delay to the results but this was largely caused by the power cut that meant we had to start the scoring outside with very cold fingers. 

I have one apology to make; I announced at the event that the Junior trophy had been awarded to Adam Bushnell, an M20. I subsequently found that the Laurie Bradley rules state that a junior in this event is M/W18-, and the trophy should have been awarded to Matthew Elkington (M14 OD). My sincere apologies to Adam for this mistake and congratulations to Matthew for a fine win.  

Finally thank to everyone who came on the day. We had around 230 entries and I shall long remember the sight of them all disappearing into every part of a frozen Sutton Park from the start; a colourful and stimulating spectacle.  

Thank you all once again and a happy and peaceful 2009.
