I have put a few photos of squad members and helpers from the British Relays and the JK Sprint on my orienteering photo stream. I've not put them here to save server space. Let me know if you would like a higher quality copy of any of them.

Saturday 5th May 2007 was the British Champs on Pwll Du, Blenavon, South Wales and the weather was as hot as the competition over testing, intricate terrain. All squad members who competed seemed to do well. We also had podiums with Anne winning W18L, and also from our coach/helpers with Roger T winning M45L, Roger B winning M75L and Carol coming 3rd on W50L. Well done everybody!

Congratulations to all of you who competed at the Britsh Championships near Midhurst on 1st April 2006. The squad now has two current British Champions - well done to Anne [W18L] and Alice [W18S]!!

Great results also from all the other SCOA squaddies: Kitty [4th, W18L], Susan [6th, W14A], Peter [8th, M14A], Tamsin [8th, W12A], Alex [15th, M14A], Alastair [16th, M14A], Martin [20th, M12A], Charlotte [21st, W16A] and Mike [36th, M16A]. In the most competitive event of the year, with the largest fields, these performances are excellent. Well done to you all.
