    Yvette Baker Trophy 2005

    Congratulations to the HOC junior team who finished 5th in the Yvette Baker Trophy final at Sherwood Pines on December 4th (and commiserations to those who didn't make it)!

    Some great performances from HOC regulars and from the new MADO HOC recruits meant that the HOC team improved a massive seven places from the 12th position they achieved in HOC's first YBT final appearance last year.

    Harlequins strength in depth also meant that the HOC second team finished third out of the nine teams with enough runners to make up second teams. Results can be seen at

    Hello All

    Firstly Thanks very much for coming at the weekend (if you could come) to the Yvette Baker qualifier. Much to our surprise, we managed to qualify to the final for the second year. Very Well Done

    However, it doesn't end there…

    On the 4th December the final is being held at Sherwood Pines, Nottingham. We obviously want to do as well as we can, and show that the qualifier was no fluke. So we need you and as many other juniors we can muster to join Harlequins by then. If you can run please email back immediately so we can get an idea of numbers. We may take a coach up if there are enough of us.

    Thanks

    Rob Farrington

  22. Update 27 Sep 2005

    NEW PERMANENT COURSE AT CALLOW HILL
    The new permanent course at Callow Hill in the Wyre Forest, grid reference SO 749 740 is going to be opened on Saturday 15th October.
    The course will be open to the public from 1pm until the visitors centre closes at 4.30pm. The start is from outside the visitors centre which is also where the map will be sold. Members of Harlequins are welcome to come and try it out. Even better would be volunteers to help new comers to the sport to get started. I am particularly looking for members of the younger generations.
    I will be there for the duration but help would be welcome even if you can only manage a shorter period.
    Please contact me with offers of help at alison.sloman@britishlibrary.net

  24. Update 20 Sep 2005

    "Hi Guys As you may or may not know, in less than two weeks is Harlequins Yvette Baker Trophy Round.

    It Takes Place at Shugborough, about 4 miles south of Stafford at the Northern end of Cannock Chase.

    We are looking to repeat last years success of making the final, and to do that we need as many people there as possible.

    If you can come then please email me back asap to robert@farrington.me.uk so I can tell the organisers how many we intend to be taking.


    If you have friends who would like to orienteer why not bring them along to help harlequins? If anyone could get people from Kings, The Chase or Birmingham University it would be most welcome.

    Thanks

    Rob Farrington"

    Don't know what the Yvette Baker Trophy is? It is a junior inter-club competiion. Your Webmaster is not exactly sure of the format and age eligability and an extensive search of the BOF website does not really help me - and the "Competitions" page is blank. If some kind Harlequin could tell me where to find more information I will post a link here Thank you to Barbara and Carol and Lynden for the link

  25. Update 19 Sep 2005

    HOC member, organiser and planner, Heather Houghton is now President of Nottingham University Orienteering Club.

    Heather says "Hi! - come and visit our website"

  26. Update 11 Sep 2005

    Please note - this Trailquest clashes with the HOC District Event at Fownhope - unless, that is, you are a very fast cyclist indeed!

    "David,

    I am organising a Mountain Bike Trailquest with the event centre at Stourport on 23/10/05 under the auspices of the Trail Cyclists Association

    The TCA is affiliated to the BOF

    This is a 5 hour score event with the option of a 2 hour 'taster' score event running at the same time.

    This as far as I know is the first such event to be organised in Worcestershire (I have been Trailquesting from the very early days).

    Perhaps this may be of interest to your members if they want to try something different.

    Note: It is not MTBO as it is using the appropriate Public Rights of Way in the area rather than a closed area of say forestry land.

    An information sheet and entry form can be obtained from http://www.trailblazers-cycling.org.uk/

    If you can bring it to the attention of your members I would be grateful.

    TIA

    Kind regards - John

  59. Update 31 Mar 2005

    Message from John Richards.

    I didn't get the opportunity to thank all of the helpers at Brown Clee last Saturday.

    Considering the problems of the previous few days and that I needed a man in a big yellow tractor to pull everyone out of the Assembly Field - I think that the event went as well as I could have hoped for. This is entirely due to all my Team Leaders and their helpers. So on behalf of myself, HOC, WMOA and Peter Guillaume and the Organising Committee Thank You.

    Check out the following link for feedback... http://www.pgopage.btinternet.co.uk/id164.htm

    John

  60. Update 31 Mar 2005

    Now that you've sampled Brown Clee from an orienteer's perspective, you might like to visit its history (and that of Clee Hill too) at an exhibition called "Quarry Land" which is on at the Midlands Art Centre, Cannon Hill Park, until May 2nd - some Harlequins came across the exhibition and their opinion is "very good!"..... http://www.macarts.co.uk

  61. Update 30 Mar 2005

    It's Official...

    "HOC's 18 year old Vice Chairman Sam Chambers and club lead coach Ruth Lockley are pictured receiving Sport England's Clubmark award from Bob Roach, BOF Chairman at the BOF 2005 AGM held in Lichfield. DVO and WCH were also presented with the award. This brings the total of BOF clubs who have been accredited and therefore authorised to use the Clubmark logo on their websites and publicity material to five. Over half the clubs in England are now working towards Clubmark so it should not be long before other awards are made."

    The accreditation covers four areas:

    1. Duty of Care & Child Protection
    2. Coaching & Competition
    3. Sports Equity & Ethics
    4. Club Management

    Schools are being encouraged, under the governments PE and School Sport Club link (PESSCL) initiative, to promote sports clubs and encourage their pupils to become members. The Clubmark "kitemark" is what teachers will be looking for from clubs before they do this.

    Regards
    Peter

    Peter Bylett
    Development Manager
    British Orienteering Federation

    Congratulations to all involved - and especially to Ruth for putting all the work required to gain accreditation - well done and thanks!

This is the annual, national, overnight junior O relay and COBOC need our help to make sure the event is a success.
HOC are co-ordinating the electronic punching, but COBOC also need volunteers prepared to be out in the park patrolling, especially during the night-time legs.
Help would also be welcomed for any other parts of the competition

Any HOC members prepared to spend a night in the park (could be a good introduction to night O) please contact Ruth Lockley asap, as Ruth has agreed to act as "HOC liaison person" with COBOC.

"Club for All" seminar

As part of the drive to get more young people into orienteering, BOF are
encouraging clubs to go for the Clubmark award. The award is given to clubs
which meet the standards to provide "safe, effective and child-friendly"
junior coaching and development. Local Sports Development teams will use
Clubmark accreditation to identify clubs which they can recommend to parents
and children. Ruth Lockley is leading the HOC Clubmark application.

One requirement for Clubmark is that some club members should have attended
a "Club for All" workshop. This workshop is part of the Sports Coach UK
programme, and  deals with issues of equity in access to sport, allowing
clubs to explore how they can open up their membership to groups of people
who have not previously considered the sport.

I have arranged a "Club for All" workshop for W. Midlands O clubs for June
16th 2004. The cost is £10 per participant, which will be me the club.
Anyone involved in junior coaching, or with an interest in increasing junior
participation in orienteering is welcome to attend, but I need at least 10
participants from across W. Midlands if the course is to run. Details below.

Ruth Lockely writes "HOC seniors will find a training questionnaire in their Ad Hoc this month. Whether you're an adult "beginner" looking for basics, or a seasoned (?distinctly weathered?) orienteer, who wants to improve aspects of your technique outside of competition, please fill it in. This is your chance to shape the club training/coaching programme; don't miss it!"
