Helen Palmer is Nottinghamshire County Council Junior Sportsperson of the Year (11 12 97)
At the Nottinghamshire County Council Sports Review of the Year, out of 20 nominees for the Junior Sportsperson - the winner was Helen Palmer of Orienteering. Two other young people (Hockey) got awards for 'school sports performances'. Thanks to NOC committee for nominating Helen - and to Jad for writing the citation - from a very proud Mum!! Good publicity for a minority sport as well - but we are on Notts list of 11 priority sports.

Peter Palmer Relays (21 Sep)
Peter Palmer Relays (21 Sep)
Nicola Olivant has kindly submitted this report
Peter Palmer Relays September 20th-21st.
We departed Nottingham early Saturday afternoon, in high spirits, arriving in Norwich around 5pm. Many of us went and grabbed some food from a local fast food restaurant and quickly rushed back to watch the footie.
NOC seemed to be pretty poor on this front, the younger ones entered a team, but were unsuccessful in making it through the lst round. It was hardly living up to last year’s victory, but the comment passed was "the playing conditions (grass and mini floodlights) were not up to their professional standards!", so the competition was eventually won by the 'Grantown 97' Tour team. It was then time to turn in for the night and prepare for the morning ahead.
I awoke about 5.20am to be told that lst leg (Richard R,) had finished, coming back in 3rd place, 22 seconds down on Walton Chasers and ½minute on COBOC and that 2nd leg would be back soon. It was pretty obvious then that it was quick terrain, as they were doing just over 5min km's. in the dark, so we had to quickly wake up and get our act together.
Over the next few legs Walton Chasers gradually extended their lead to 7 minutes, we managed to pull it back to only 4 minutes, but maintaining 2nd position. Alistair F went out on the last leg, and by then 2nd place was pretty much secured, and the team finished 5mins 42secs behind the clear leaders from the beginning, Walton Chasers. The 2nd NOC team also put on a great effort showing good promise for teams in the future.
I think all of us that went had a good time, and on behalf of them I would like to thank Jim Clarke and Steve Hodkinson for making it possible for us to go, and NOC for their financial support.
Nicola Olivant Junior Rep.
N.B. If anyone from Walton Chasers is reading this then watch out next year, 5 mins is nothing.

Club AGM
will be on 18th October, at the National Watersports Centre, Holmepierrepont, from 18:30 to 22:00.
Getting a venue and a date in October has been extremely difficult. Yes, we do know that there is a National next day in the Forest of Dean, so Ray has agreed to limit his speech to a few sentences only.
The room holds 80. Last year we had 50, so let's see if we can fill this venue. There is of course a bar, and we will arrange tea/coffee. There is no nearby Juke Box!
Nominations for committee posts and resolutions for the Agenda need to be with Jad by 4th October.

Alison and John Sage won this interesting event by the large margin of half a mile.
Thanks to Colin and family, we struggled with tortuous clues and tortuous lanes, strange coloured leaves and the purchase of carrot(s)!

Shamrock O Ringen (21 2/6/97)
Another good weekend for NOC -- an excellent result at the Harvester and 4 NOC members went to the Shamrock O Ringen and brought home trophies:
M50 1st Steve Wright W50 1st Hilary Palmer W16 1st Helen Palmer W16 3rd Emily Talbot
Amazingly technical moorland terrain with ribs of rock all over the place - but mostly mapped as contours not rock! Managed to go slowly enough not to make too many horrendous mistakes!!

The results below on 15th June appear incorrect. I'll put them right later.
I know that some unknown R.Brown M21 scored 2 points on Brown 1.
Also the junior scoring on the printed results is 4-3-2-1. I thought it should be 5-4-3-2.
Don't worry, we still beat EPOC.

Compass Sport Cup
Statement from the Club Team Captain CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! DVO 62
NOC 71
Yes, that was the final score in the second round of the Compass Sport Cup played at Hay Woods. Another brilliant NOC turn out and some great runs, especially by the younger members of the Club. Well done to everyone who ran.
We are now in the Regional Final. This will take place on SATURDAY 14th June at Canklow Woods near Rotherham. Start times 9:30 - 11:30. All the Compass Sport Cup courses plus a yellow.
This is being played as a three way tie:
WCH v EPOC and then the winners of that re-scored against NOC. (the form book would suggest that EPOC should beat WCH, so we will probably by playing EPOC).
Travel directions: M1 to Junction 33. Take the A630 to Rotherham. At the first roundabout turn right, onto the A631 (Bawtry Road). At the first traffic lights turn left into Moorgate. After 1.5km (just after the hospital), turn left into the Car park. This is at Oakwood Comprehensive School. The event will be O signed from the beginning of Moorgate.
SYO are putting this event on specially and have asked for 6 volunteers from each club to help on the day with results etc. Please phone me if you would be willing to do this.
This is a great chance to reach the final (to be held on 12th October somewhere in or near the Lakes). Last time we played EPOC we lost by 1 point so PLEASE turn out and run. Thanks.

Perran Sands Collapse!!
Perran Sands Collapse!!
I understand that enormous pits (40ft across) have appeared on Perran Sands in the last two weeks. Apparently there used to be mines there, and the exceptionally dry weather (remember comments at the event about strange water table), has caused collapses beneath the dunes.
Perhaps we were lucky to have the JK when we did! More details when I get the newspaper cutting. Ray

North Notts Training
The first North Notts club run took place from Keith's yesterday 10.04.97.
On offer were several runs through terrain (well Strawberry Hill actually ) of up to 10K including fartlek, Interval training and speed work.
The après coffee and biscuits were excellent.
This would have been more enjoyable if Keith had actually had someone to run with!
The offer will stand until the summer league commences because he really can't stand running alone. Keith Streb

Training Run
Training Run
The new venue for the Thursday training run started well. A power cut. So the building was in darkness, but we managed to change in the gloom.
Our new friends, the hockey and the lacrosse players had all cried off because of the snow, and were suprised that we wanted to have a run!
Twenty (20) attended. With increased numbers like this, we can plan more sophisticated training.
