Lockdown training events

Well done to everyone who took part in the second lockdown score in Yarm last week. You can find the results here in due course. You are still welcome to have a go at this, or the first score in Acklam, at your leisure if you want. We've then swapped the last two events, and this week's is at Shildon, near Bishop Auckland. Full details and maps can be found here. Send your results to Dennis for checking. Next week is the final event at Ingleby Barwick organised by Alan Cranke - details to follow in next week's Tchimes.

Virtual Orienteering Courses (VOCs)

Easter 2021 - Acorn weekend

A date for your diary!

Covid-19 and Forestry England allowing, CLOK is planning to put on a "definitely not the JK" Acorn Weekend of events in the Whitby area over Easter 2021. The idea is to use some of the areas, maps and planning that would have been used for JK 2020. The plan is that the weekend will include:-

There are obviously many uncertainties at this stage – in particular, what happens to Covid-related travel restrictions over the next four months and whether and when Forestry England will be able to give permission for relatively large events in their forests. However, we now have well-established processes for organising "Covid secure" orienteering events and, particularly as there isn't going to be a JK next year, we think it's worth a try. Let's hope that there's sufficient progress with vaccination and rapid testing programmes for people to be allowed to travel and for Forestry England to give us access permissions. Anyway, put the date in your diary and watch this space for further updates (also on the website here).
