Top Maroc performances at JK 2014
Approximately 40 members attended the 2014 Jan Kjellstrom International event in the south Wales valleys over the Easter weekend.
Maroc, as usual, had a series of outstanding performances with many top 10 placings but the club’s sole overall class winner was Ewan Musgrave on M10A, who also won the sprint. The junior relay team of Jake Chapman, Matthew Gooch and Joe Wright finished second in their class.

Clean Orienteering Shoes for 2014
You will all have heard about the new diseases spreading in our forests – from Ash die back to Ramorum and others that affect Pine trees. Naturally we are getting requests from landowners for us to help avoid introducing any infections into their areas. To this end please can you ensure that all shoes are cleaned of the previous event’s mud/pine needles etc before going to the next event. At present using a household disinfectant is sufficient (though if outbreaks of disease do start appearing locally we might need to use stronger stuff….)
If we can show we are taking steps to avoid problems it will stand us in good stead if any outbreaks happen and might well stop us being barred from some of our areas.
Please comply with this request and help continue the club’s good relations with local landowners.

Windswept and ‘interesting’ Maroc/Deeside run up Mt Shade and Clachnaben.
Mean and moody on top, hares in winter pelage, and we just beat the rain back to the cars.
