Organisers Comments

So 4 weeks after the severe gales,  the Rowney event actually went ahead.  We should all be grateful to our fixtures secretary, Mike Capper, who moved quickly to get the permissions for our event and to Forest Enterprise for clearing up the devastation and allowing us in again..

My biggest problem was finding helpers.  Despite having a team lined up for the cancelled event on 27th October, it was still difficult to form a new team for this event.  Special thanks to those who actually volunteered, especially Cath Pennington.  I kept Cath as my special reserve and on the day she ably filled several gaps in the team.

Some of you might be amazed by the large tent erected over the String course.  I was more surprised by the huge number of takers - we actually exhausted the map supply and those who had a go without maps were actually faster!

The fact that 214 of you turned up to enjoy the day made it worthwhile for myself, the planner and controller who had to do it all again.

Planners Comments

Thanks to all of you who came. We got there in the end and the day stayed mainly dry. It was good to see so many new names in the results and so many families taking part. I hope that you all enjoyed your day out that we will see you again soon.

 I had a definite feeling of relief rather than disappointment when the original event had to be postponed due to the gales in October. We had over half the controls out but all of us in the wood had seen trees or large branches falling. 

 The forestry commission had done a good job in clearing many of the paths in the four intermediate week. I apologise to anyone on the yellow course whose navigation was thrown by a tree still across a path between controls 6 and 7 - I did not find this until I was collecting in the controls.

Thanks to the controller, Norman King, for his unflustered support in planning this, my first full colour coded event. I have realised that even simple things like where you put the tags need to be discussed to aid efficiency. Many thanks to all those who helped put out and collect in my controls, without helpers it would be difficult on short winter days to complete the task in daylight hours.

The Rowney Warren map is due for remapping. One of the main advantages of the storms is that we can probably remove most of the now dubious rootstocks marked on the map and add a new set. Also many of the shallow depressions have also become filled over the years.

Future planners, organisers at Rowney Warren may have to consider ways of communicating our presence to the cyclists. A number of runner received complaints from cyclists in the northern part of the woods. There was apparently no organised cycling event on in the woods on that day and I had avoided putting any controls in the part of wood where the slalom runs have been built. Late runners unfortunately found that control 106 in an adjacent area had disappeared - an area popular with orienteers and cyclists due to its technicality.

Controllers Comments

As many of you will know we had to postpone the previous event. On the Saturday before the event the forecast was for high winds on the Sunday. Nicola went into Rowney on the Saturday and no problems were seen and when I first got to Rowney at 7am it was windy but not too bad. From 8am onwards the wind increased and branches were starting to fall. At just after 9am Nicola, Bruce and I agreed it was too
dangerous.

Subsequent visits to Rowney proved the decision was correct.

Thence we came to part two. This was Nicola's first planning event. I know she did an excellent job. I did not have to make many suggestions. From the comments after the courses they were very complimentary. Rowney always fascinates me and I enjoy being there.  The removal of the woods near the finish I don't believe has had too much of a detriment on the area.

There were four incidents of note. Control 115 for some reason "died" on us and I had to replace it. Also, Control 106 late on in the day was removed by persons unknown. I asked some of the cyclists if they'd seen anyone remove it and nobody had. I could not find it anywhere. All Orienteers affected have been reinstated.

Also the area of the map between 106 and 101 (slalom course) is clearly going to have to be out-of-bounds in future, even though we had the woods for the day, ad-hoc cyclists still use the slalom course. Whilst I was collecting in controls, Control 103 was not in the place I had put it in the morning, it had been moved about 30 metres East.

My thanks to Bruce, always calm and to Nicola who was nervous but carried out a splendid job, again it was a pleasure to control for WAOC.
