Woodburn NIOA series 4 event cancelled

The Woodburn event on Sunday September 5^th has been cancelled due to an infection of p.ramorum in the Japanese larch trees. This is the same fungal infection that causes sudden oak death in the USA and it has been identified in three forests in south Antrim.

The Forest Service has placed Woodburn out of bounds for orienteering. They have asked that anyone who goes walking in Woodburn Forest strictly follows the instructions posted there ie to keep to the main paths and remove any mud from footwear before leaving. Preferably they would like people not to go there at all.

Hopefully we shall be able to return there at some stage though considerable map revision will be needed as the stands of Japanese larch are being felled.

O-Ringen Toblerone Draw

The winner was Agnes Field from Dublin and the ticket was sold by Thomas Meehan (NWOC). The raffle made £800. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Junior Development Swedish Tour. Full report to follow.
