For those of you who would like to give your navigational skills a test at higher speeds why not try mountainbike orienteering!
Another series of spring events are being held this April around the province as well as some MTBO rides (beware of possible embargoes!)
More details can be found on the TrailblazersMTBO website: trailblazersmtbo.wordpress.com

Calling all Facebookers - LVO now has its very own group. Search for "Lagan Valley Orienteers" and you shall find it. It's an open group - all FB-ers can post discussions, photos etc, so let's see if we can make it a success. It's YOUR group, so make sure it contains what YOU want to share with the rest of us.
What about any photos of the LVO Championships at Drum Manor???

There's a Leinster event at Carnawaddy, Co Louth, this Sunday 14th. I'm planning to go & would like to offer to share lifts if anyone else is making the trip. Please give me a call & we can organise. Should be a good event in this fine spring sunshine!

I have planned a tempO (sprint version of trailO) event to run, appropriately enough, alongside the IOC sprintO on Friday 23rd April at Coleraine. A trial run using the sprintO organising team was received very enthusiastically so all is ready except for on-the-day helpers. A minimum of 4 timekeepers/registrars is required to run the competition. It is planned to stage it before the sprintO but in an area which does not compromise anyones sprintO eligibility. I am therefore asking for volunteers to wield stopwatches and pencils for a short period before the sprint races (which start from 19:00) - you will also be able to compete in the tempO event if you feel so inclined.

Entries for the Irish Orienteering Champs are now open at
www.niorienteering.org.uk/ioc2010. The JK Sprint team of Igor Stefko, Richard McCourt and Stephen Gilmore have spent the last two days at Coleraine preparing from some cunning Sprint-O on the Friday evening, so don't overlook entering for this event. You won't be disapointed!

I am very pleased to announce that LVO have been awarded a significant amount of funding from Awards for Sport to allow the purchase of a trailer to act as an event centre for event administration, organisation and equipment transport. We are very grateful for the support provided against a backdrop of large cut backs in public spending and slashes in budgets.
Time is of the essence as the project needs to be completed by end of March 2010. A small working party has been set up to agree the final specification. If you wish to be part of the working party and/or you have some ideas that you would like incorporated into the design or layout please email me on gordon@stephens2000.freeserve.co.uk
We are now looking for some ideas for the graphics for the trailer to promote the events, the club, and orienteering as a sport. We may also consider 'selling' advertising space for suitable sponsors.
If you have some ideas (please!)for graphics or sponsorship (or anything else related to the trailer) please contact me or any member of the committee.

A reminder to everyone that the Queens OC Wednesday training continues at the Dub pavilion every week right up till the 28th of April. Guaranteed to have you fighting fit for the start of the WEE series! Outdoor run / navigation training starts at 5.45, and indoor circuits start at 7.00pm. All levels catered for & everyone welcome.
Note - an ability to not take yourself too seriously during circuits is nigh on essential!

Wednesday Evening Events are planned to continue this year with a three part series over three months. That means we need three people to coordinate four events each – in the approximate areas of Co. Antrim, Belfast Parks and M1 Corridor. For each event, we also need a Planner, and (depending on how hands on the coordinator is) an organiser. The WEE Series is designed to be both a way into planning a simple event and also to provide an accessible 'come and try it' format for newcomers. A sign-up sheet will be available at the Hillsborough event or call me on the number above – so please consider putting yourself forward. Guidance from experienced hands is available for all aspects of running the WEE’s.
