Haw Park Woods District Event. Controllers Comments

Sunday, 4th Febuary 2007

I agreed to control the event at the beginning of December and was pleased to find that Emma was well organised, had familiarised herself with the course guidelines and produced a draft set of courses. One visit to the wood was sufficient to agree all the tagged control sites.

The use of OCAD and Email set off a series of comments and suggestions before finalising the courses well in time for printing.
Comments on the day were mainly very favourable, with the odd reference to dog-legs on some courses. In such a small area as Haw Park, this was always a possibility, particularly to set up legs with different route choices.

As a first time Planner, I believe that Emma did an excellent job and I thank her for making my job easier.

Finally, many thanks to the 225 orienteers who ran at the event and made our jobs worthwhile.
