1 Compass Sport Cup match – date for getting forms to Pete. See Pete's Preview.

2 1st of three Club training dates for Juniors (but I did – I hope! – ring you all to give you advance warning). See SLOW Junior Squad.

Please make a note of the date of the Peter Palmer Junior Team Relays, which we are hosting this year, on SN land (Frith Hill) in Frimley, near Camberley. All offers of help welcome for this, the highlight of the Junior orienteering calendar: Saturday 23rd/Sunday 24th September.

Following the successful training courses for adults held last September, SLOW's development plans are now focusing on juniors – and the formation of the first SLOW Junior Squad. This was the outcome of a recent 'sub-committee' discussion held chez Robinson. With Chris Fry volunteering as 'lead coach', we will be holding three sessions for juniors in the period March-June – aimed at any junior SLOW member who has successfully completed a 'yellow' standard course. There will be an emphasis on fun and socialising as well as technical coaching – I quite like the sound of Sardine-O myself! Reminds me of the SLOW skiing trip to Tignes…..

The discussion also threw up the need for the club to have more qualified coaches; we only have one currently – Andrew Leaney – plus several whose qualification has lapsed owing to the demanding requirement to attend a first-aid course every two years to keep the qualification valid. If anyone is interested in becoming a coach – please get in touch with Chris Fry.

Our junior development discussion was informed by the BOF Club Development Conference which Anne Leaney and I had attended a few days earlier in York. This was a very well attended event (75? delegates) with some interesting presentations and lively discussion. (See Anne's report.) Anne and I came away with the following conclusions: development takes an awful lot of volunteer time; there is money out there if you have time to apply for it; wonderful development activities are no guarantee of increased membership, but just introducing people to the sport is a highly valid aim in itself – they may one day become land-owners, sponsors or local councillors making decisions about orienteering.

Other suggestions from our development discussion were that we should compile a list of orienteering videos which SLOW members own or have access to. Please send me details if you have any. We were delighted that Julianna Grant, the South East's Development Officer, was able to attend our meeting. Julianna was even more delighted as this was the first time in two and a half years that any SE club had approached her in this way! Another first for SLOW. With Julianna's help we also hope to provide some 'training' for absolute beginner juniors later this year.

Finally ... congratulations to Simon Turner and Edward Catmur on their recent selection to compete for England in Belgium.

With our sights aimed at the Compass Sport Cup match on 19 March and the Peter Palmer Junior Team Relays on 23/24 September, we want all our Juniors to be trained to achieve their highest potential. If you can complete a Yellow standard course on your own, you can come to our series of FREE Junior Coaching Sessions in 2000, at which we will encourage you to move up the Colour-Coded scale by introducing the basic skills you need to be competitive on your courses:

Coming back to training in the cold has been a real shock after being in New Zealand, so I am pleased to be including the prospect of more warmth and daylight in the training schedule below. (If you can't wait that long, there will be plenty of warmth in the Robbos' kitchen on the 7^th of March.)

From mid May it should be possible to do technical training on orienteering areas a bit further out of London without running out of daylight. Any volunteers to organise this please let me know.

Congratulations to the following who braved a bitterly cold evening to do the 5km time trial on 25^th January. (Map of course below in case you want to have a try yourself!)

The Committee discussed the possibility of a training weekend but it was felt the fixture list was too congested at present and that pre-JK training on Scottish type terrain was impossible within a reasonable driving distance of London! So we have gone for a 'brush up your techniques' day on Saturday 15^th April. Subject to land permission this will be after the Southern Express short race on Netley Heath probably from about noon onwards. For those of you who did the beginners' course last autumn, this is an opportunity for some further technical training. Exact exercises not yet planned but may include:

Please ring me if you have any techniques you would like to practise or if you would like to volunteer to plan any exercises. Please complete and return the slip if you are interested in the training day and I will send further details nearer the time. We are also arranging some training for our developing juniors on Sundays 5^th March, 9^th April and 11^th June (see SLOW Junior Squad).

The Federation is again organising a Personal Improvement Day specifically targeted towards club member silver and gold badge standard competitors of ages M/W 14 to M/W 75. The day will comprise 'loop' training exercises on the detailed and very runnable Great Tower area. There is a badge event on the adjoining World Champs. area the following day. The cost for the day's training is at a subsidised rate of £5 which includes map costs, landowner fees, coaching fees and car parking. No accommodation is organised. More details will be available in February, or from the BOF office now on 01629 734 042.

I have received a pamphlet from the Ramblers' Association showing land in England, Scotland and Wales held by the Forestry Commission. If anyone would like to see it please let me know. It could be useful for planning walks, training in forests in different areas of the country.

3 years ago I arrived in England without knowing a soul. However, I knew from experience, where there are orienteers you will find soulmates. SLOW has been a good example in that respect. My first contact was Kay Denny who was very helpful and made it easy for me to decide to join SLOW. I must also mention Andy (knows all O-areas worth visiting in the UK), Chris and Heather and many more. Without SLOW my expat. life would have been much less inspiring and eventful. A sincere thanks to all of you who have made my three-year stay in the UK so pleasant and interesting. You are welcome to contact me if you would like to come over for an event in the Ardennes or maybe just a visit to Brussels.

There are lots of team events coming up this spring. Take a look and then send me the team form enclosed with this SLOWprint - and put your BOF number and Sport-Ident number on the form (if you have one). Remember that these events are open to all club members irrespective of ability, so do come along. There is a good club atmosphere at these events, with an ideal opportunity to get to know other members.

After coming 2^nd equal nationally last year, we now have to qualify from the South-East Regional Round again. This is against SO, GO, HH, MV, and SAX. This could be a very competitive round so we need a good turnout.

The event is effectively pre-entry via me because I have to book and pay for start slots, so send in your team form as soon as possible. The start slots are from 10am to 12.30pm.

The event is on Leith Hill, near Dorking - one of the best areas in the South-East. Note that if you are not feeling competitive, you can run a lower course, but you must still pre-book this with me.

The event is signed from the A25/B2126 junction at Abinger Hammer. Car park fee is £1 per car. The start is 10 minutes walk from the car park. The finish is 5 minutes from the start. We have pre-marked maps at a scale of 1:10,000. Map reclaim is at 12.30pm.

If we win the Regional Round, we are through to the National Final on June 18^th at Ilkley in Yorkshire. Please put this date in your diaries if we win!

"A magnificently situated and attractive area virtually new to orienteering. It has runnable natural woodland and heather covered open. Plenty of rock and contour details with few line features."

The usual JK courses are on offer: JK Trophy (Men's Open), Women's Trophy, Men's short, Women's short, M120+ (total age 120+), W120+, M165+, W165+, M48- (total age 48-), W48-, M/W40- (total age 40-), Mini Relay for M/W12- (yellow standard), Mixed Ad Hoc.

The usual BRC courses are on offer: Men's Open, Women's Open, Men's short, Women's short, M35, M40, M45, M50, M55, M/W60, W35, W40, W45, W50, W55, M18, W18, M14, W14, Mini Relay, Mixed Ad Hoc.

The individual championships are on May 27^th at Touch Estate, Stirling. If people want to do the relays, then I shall put people in touch with each other.

In the past, there has been a small amount of interest in doing a Bob Graham Round Relay in the wonderful Lake District fells. This would consist of 5 pairs of runners doing a 72 mile run. There would also be an opportunity for spectators to have an enjoyable run as well. The event should be in the summer (probably on the Saturday) to make the most of the long daylight hours.

Yet again, I want to get your opinion to see if we can have this potentially enjoyable day out. Possible dates fitting in with the orienteering calendar are 27-29 May (if we don't go to the Scottish Champs), then weekends from 15^th July through to the end of August. If you are interested, then indicate on the form.

Something with perhaps a higher chance of happening is the Test Way Relay (near Southampton?). I shall try to find out more information but it is usually on the first Saturday in September, 50km, 8 stages, 10-20 teams, and allegedly fun!

We may find some other interesting relays and team events. Last year we had teams at the Harris Format event (mass start - divide up the controls), the Furrow Hoppers relay (mass start - divide up the many courses), and the South-East Relays. If you see any information then let me know.

The Bridge section have successfully negotiated another two rounds of the London Trophy (Plate) taking us into the last 16 teams. Unusually we played two teams from the same club (Sutton Highfield LTC) in the last two matches.

Their second team proved no match for us at all. A combination of winnowing defence and red-blooded bidding left the opposition trailing by over 2000 points at the end of the match.

The next match was not greatly different. We led by 620 points after the first half and extended that lead by over a 1000 more points by the end of the evening. Bearing in mind Andy and Pete had a deep misunderstanding and bid 7ª missing one Ace (our opponents didn't even sniff at slam and languished in 3NT) the result was all the more remarkable.

Generally at Teams you bid "skinny" games. The following hand was a good result for us in the first half. I am dealt the following hand at love all:

When Ned bids like this he isn't too strong! He might have A¨ , but then he'll have little else. But then if the defence doesn't get everything right, or something turns up, 3N should stand a chance. So I bid 3N which completes the auction. The lead is Q§ ; at least it wasn't a ª. Partner tables:

Oh well! I suppose the clubs might break 4-4, so up with the A§ before they smell a rat and switch to v's. Knock out the A¨ and right-hand opponent takes the next trick with K§ , then thinks and leads a ©. No, § 's weren't 4-4, they were 6-2! Lucky for me they were blocked. Contract made, whilst in the other room they were playing a feeble 4¨ which went one down anyway giving us a net plus of 450 on the board.

Why not round off a superb day's orienteering and training with a chance to socialise with fellow club members? This year's annual dinner has a new location – a lovely hall in Thames Ditton, called the Vera Fletcher Hall – and will be an informal, relaxed event with buffet food, drink and music. It would be great to see our new members and juniors at the dinner; it's not just for the old-timers (welcome as they are of course!). The approx. price will be £10–12 for seniors and hopefully less than a fiver for juniors. Do fill in the slip return it to me if you wish to attend.

This is an advance notice as there was a general intention to take it a bit more seriously this year. LOK beat us by 45 minutes last time and we don't want that sort of embarrassment again. So please make a note in your diaries and let me know if you are available. It would be nice to get out two teams again and if so Chris Owen did volunteer to organise the second team (I wonder if he remembers saying that!). With 16 in a team that's 32 runners or perhaps plenty of opportunity to run twice - just what you wanted! So I'd like to hear from:

regulars who always run the same leg (e.g. Andy and Karen)

regulars who like running different legs (e.g. Malcolm)

ex-regulars who haven't done it for a few years (e.g. Alan and Di)

those who think they are too slow but in fact will easily be slotted in (e.g Heather)

the young guns who have never done it before (e.g. Tom, Caroline)

and anybody else who fancies an hour's run on a long distance footpath.

Although we'd like a few faster people it's not that serious. LOK's time last year of 15-47 was over two hours outside our record from 1993, and besides I expect to be in the first team (and maybe the second team). As usual it's volunteers to run the early legs that we'd like to recruit first - Dover at 5 a.m. is so refreshing?! I will be collaring people at events from now on. You have been warned!

Christine Robinson and I were among some 70 orienteers from around the country who attended the BOF Club Development conference in York at the end of January.

I had taken the opportunity to travel up the day before and spent the afternoon as part of a small group having a guided tour of York Minster. This magnificent building has undergone major works in recent years and contains some spectacular stained-glass windows. A contrast in architecture was the YHA building just outside the city, which provided ample accommodation for school groups and those wanting a quiet night before a long day!

The Club Development day was organised by Andrew Kelly, BOF English Development officer. He had packed a series of speakers into a busy programme which covered many aspects of development of an Orienteering Club.

The first speakers came from Teeside and had benefited, over many years, from funding aimed at underprivileged areas. They were the first to stress the commitment needed to ensure successful results but as the day went on it quickly became clear that this voluntary work and the time and effort involved meant no one expected overnight success. Unfortunately we didn't hear all about the Teeside O-Zone as Andy was keeping a tight rein on the programme right from the start.

An area that SLOW should pursue is the availability of grants to cover the costs of the development idea. Two particular examples were given, one for a Permanent course in Dorset which had come about following long-term work with the local authority and Forest Enterprise. The other was an inspiring talk from Dick Denton (father of Tim, known to many SLOW members). He admits to being a lousy orienteer but a superb fundraiser and aims to cover his club's (SMOC) mapping costs by fundraising.

Donald Petrie, Scottish Professional Officer, explained how the 6-Day events were used to develop new clubs and new maps. There seems to be no shortage of areas for mapping and the organisers are invited back to areas by councils and retailers. Again, he stressed the long-term planning involved working with Sport Scotland and local authorities.

Part of the planning for the 6-Day 2001 involves having a map which includes part of Fort William town centre so that the local community can see the event at first hand (you will be finishing in the town on Day 1) and have a map which will be of use in trying to develop a club in the area. They also provide media facilities for anyone who goes to the 6-Day to report back successes to their local papers. So expect to see me running around with paper and pencil as well as map and compass next year.

The development of volunteers for events was covered with respect to a voluntary scheme for encouraging Organisers/Planners and Controllers to be involved more and to progress. In one region a coordinator arranges training courses for O/P & C's and maintains a record of who does what and when. This has cleaned out the semi-retired O & C's and encouraged new P's and C's to develop. They no longer have a problem in finding Organisers/Planners or Controllers for events in the region.

Two examples of Schools leagues were given, one in Dorset which is a new scheme and just getting off the ground. The other from Lancashire has been 10 years & more in development and now has a separate Orienteering Association with its own web site. The participants go on tour to Norway, for example. The League itself is well planned to fit in with the Orienteering calendar of events and has a Final and lots of medals and certificates for the children's Achievement records.

The day was ended with a presentation by Walton Chasers – Sports Club of the Year. They won a £10,000 award as a result of the Club Secretary completing a form sent to all clubs thinking they might get £100. Again this had not happened overnight; the Club has a small catchment area and they made a concentrated effort to get known in area. They have got good links with local press. A lot of effort went in to developing a club spirit. They gave free entry for CompassSport Cup matches which they also won this year, with free or subsidised transport to club competitions and club kit.

At the end of a long day we trudged wearily back to the train station with ideas and thoughts going round a very tired brain. So much was packed into the day that it could have been a weekend meeting. It was sad to note that none of the speakers could point to a dramatic increase in Club membership as a result of their efforts but the overall impression was of the time and effort people had made in the name of the sport we all enjoy so much.

The gaijin cursed. In Anglo-Saxon. Japanese is, apparently, a better language for praising the beauty of the autumn moon than for commenting on matters of consanguinary relationships with the local canine population. The gaijin was, not to put too fine a point on it, lost in his car somewhere in west Tokyo. It was already 6.00am, and the gaijin was now going to be late for the meeting of the finish team helpers, scheduled for 6.40am (sic) at the event centre. It was his West Tokyo club's annual event, the district junior championships. But, despite having Toyota's top-end GPS navigation system (admittedly with text and spoken navigational instructions only in the Emperor's finest Japanese), the gaijin could not, after three attempts, find the on-ramp to the expressway to get him there. In a nutshell, this was the Tokyo equivalent of not being able to find the M4 when under the Chiswick flyover.

An hour and a half, and a five mile deviation back into Tokyo, later the event centre, a large sports hall (they are everywhere in Japan), is reached. The gaijin is handed a copy of the organisation plan - an eight colour print-out analysed in ten minute blocks, scheduling the forty or so helpers (none of whom are to run) individually.

To say Japanese events are organised within an inch of their lives would be an alarming understatement - the gaijin had been to a preparation session at a community hall the previous Sunday, and had spent three hours mostly ironing pre-marked and already bagged maps to ensure they had no air left inside.

The "go-ru" (work it out for yourself - there is an art to understanding what the Japanese can do to the English language) team had already left for the finish area a kilometre or so away. So the gaijin strolls there - and finds no-one ready to greet him and accept his abject apology for lateness. It emerges that minor navigational difficulties (which had not befallen the gaijin, who knew where the finish was having found it while looking for the event centre), and the need for the team number two to have a fag (or two), had delayed the team en route by car.

All goes much better from then on. Everything is ready by 8.45, just in time for the first expected finisher at 10.30. Seaweed flavoured toffees are sucked to keep out the cold. Once finishers start to arrive, subtle differences from the British way become evident. Most finishers are greeted with an expression that translates roughly along the lines of "we humbly hope that you found a feast of pleasure", and M and W 45's and above are bowed to. Drinks are distributed - half-litres of "Pocari Sweat" (a sports drink sold widely, and which tastes better than it sounds).

The team melds together well, despite further absences by the number two to ensure prosperity at Japan Tobacco, and busy spells pass without incident. By half past two, 380 Japanese orienteers have apparently feasted on pleasure (not a word of complaint has been heard), and three are pronounced still in the woods. Shortly afterwards, a fat twelve year old boy and two giggly first year university girls appear (from the wrong direction), and the team disperse. There is relief that there is no repeat of last year, when the team waited for an hour in heavy sleet for a Boy Scout ultimately located in his bath at home in Yokohama (some things are the same the world over).

The gaijin returns to Tokyo, fortunately without further navigational travails. In the car he reflects on what has been a surprisingly enjoyable day - the simple pleasures of a few hours standing in a frosty field with people who have a common interest, working as a team (even if one doesn't speak much of its language), are indeed a tonic to the pressures of millennial corporate office life.
