The
final 2011 Wimborne Club League placings are now online at http://www.wimborne-orienteers.org.uk/wim/Club%20League/2011/111127_final.htm There
was a little shuffling of places following the BOK Galoppen on a glorious
day at Wavering Down, but the leading runners were unchanged.
Congratulations to our four champions and everyone else who took part. The
Senior Men’s championship developed into a contest to see if anyone
could catch Steven Horsler, who was a massive 86 points clear of the
field by September! In the chasing pack were Mike Christopher, Chris
Branford, Richard Brightman, Martin Cross, Nikki
Crawford is the Senior Women’s champion, climbing from 6th
place in September to beat Sue Hands by 25 points. Sue had led the table
for six months but Nikki overtook her with fine performances at the
Caddihoe and in the WSX and WIM Galoppens. Mel Rayner came 3rd
with several impressive scores. Eleven women and fifteen men scored 400 points
or more from their best six events. Fraser
Smith is the Junior Boys winner and Rebecca Whittingham won the Junior
Girls. They are now competing at Light Green level and getting a real
taste of technical challenges. Two young talents to watch in the new
year! So,
we look forward to the 2012 Club League season. The Rules
are very similar to 2011 though with some adjustments to multipliers for
competitors choosing to ‘run down’ colours. Good luck everyone! Mike
