We have successfully renewed our Clubmark
accreditation for another four years. Ed Nicholas,
BOF Development Manager, writes: “The club have
built up an very impressive submission and have
detailed with accuracy the high amount of
development work they do in the Manchester area.
The club should be very pleased with their folder and
congratulations on their work done to date.”
This is a testimony to the hard work of many members of the club, but especially to
Rae Lomas who had to put the file together with extra care as we were picked to have
our application file subject to extra monitoring.
Renewal of Clubmark is very important for the club, as it shows we have consistent
good practice and standards in working with children and young people. Clubmark is
a cross-sport scheme and is awarded to clubs that comply with minimum operating
standards in four areas: the playing program, duty of care and safeguarding and
protecting children and young people, knowing your club and the community, and in
club management.
Congratulations to our juniors who produced a brilliant performance to get through to
the final of the Yvette Baker Trophy. The heat was at Holker Woodlands near Cartmel
on 10th March. Lakeland (891) were ahead of Manchester (886) who narrowly beat
West Cumberland (885) into third and then South Ribble (840) fourth. As Lakeland
were in the top 5 in the Final of the YBT last year both Lakeland and Manchester
progress to the final in July. Vicky Thornton co-ordinated the team and clearly
managed to infect them with her enthusiasm. However we will probably not send a
team to the final as several of our best juniors have already entered the Saunders
Lakeland Mountain Marathon on that weekend.
Congratulations to John Kewley for winning the 2-day Elite Trail-O event at the JK.
Others in the prizes were Dave Mawdsley (2nd), Andrew Gregory (2nd) and Sue
Birkinshaw (3rd) in the Sprint, and Ben Dempsey (1st) and Andrew Gregory (2nd) in the
2-day Individual competition.
Derek Allison has been appointed as Co-ordinator for the Lakes-5 multi-day event next
year, and the detailed planning and organization are now proceeding. As a club we
shall be making a major contribution to the event, probably doing the computing, but
we may well have other responsibilities.
JK 2015 is being held in the Lake District. NWOA are looking for a Local Co-ordinator
to work with the Major Events Manager who will shortly be appointed by BOF.
Anyone interested should contact the NWOA Chairman Bob Roach.
The first event of the Summer evening series will be at Teggs Nose, Macclesfield on
Thursday 25th April, organized by Rae Lomas. Tony Wagg is co-ordinating the MDOC
events in the series, which is put on jointly by MDOC and DEE.
The next Newsletter will be in June. Please send news, photos etc. to Andrew Gregory.

Vicky Thornton, club captain writes: “We had such a good club turnout and some great
performances. Congratulations especially to our two course winners: Tom Fellbaum
and John Britton. LOC were 2nd in the CSC last year and had already automatically
qualified for the next round. That left us battling for second place as the results
unfolded on the day against WCOC in order to qualify.
.... HOWEVER .... DRAT!!! .... WE JUST MISSED OUT GETTING THROUGH BY JUST .....
7 POINTS !! .... Despite this it was in fact a great day out in the Lakes and a really fun
event on a ‘better than expected area’ with plenty of mental and physical challenges to
be had on all courses.”

YVETTE BAKER TROPHY
Matthew Fellbaum
MDOC sent a team of 11 juniors to Holker Woodlands last month to attempt to
progress to the final of the Yvette Baker Trophy. The team consisted of myself, the
McCann's, Laura Hindle, Ben Martland, the Dempsey's, Alistair Thornton, Rebecca
Humpreys and Lauren McNeil. Everyone did well and we had some great top 3 results
with Alistair Thornton (1st) and Alex McCann (2nd) on the green, me (1st) on the light
green, James McCann (3rd) and Lauren McNeil (3rd out of the girls) on the orange, and
Ben Dempsey (3rd out of the boys) on the yellow. In the end it was enough to finish in
a close 2nd place out of only 4 teams as DEE didn't have enough competitors, with LOC
just ahead of us by 5 points and MDOC narrowly beating WCOC into 2nd by 1 point!
As LOC finished in the top 5 of the final last year MDOC progress to the final! Well
done to all the juniors who competed. (Its ironic because MDOC probably won't even
send a team to the final as most of the juniors are competing in the Saunders Mountain
Marathon which is held over the same weekend!)

JK 2013
CHILTERNS
Red Kites in the air and red-and-white kites on the ground! An excellent JK, revisiting
the attractive and runnable woods of the Hambleden estate near Henley for both one
of the Individual days and for the Relays. The Sprint event was on the campus of the
University of Reading, and the other Individual day at the slightly less runnable
woodland of Cold Ash near Newbury. The weekend was possibly more memorable for
the fine weather but very cold winds. Good conditions for running, but very cold for
standing around before and afterwards.
We had a good turnout of club members and some excellent runs. In the Sprint, on the
Whiteknights campus of the University of Reading, Dave Mawdsley had an excellent
run to come 2nd out of 33 in M70, Andrew Gregory was also 2nd on M75, and on W75
Sue Birkinshaw was 3rd and Margaret Gregory 4th. On W50 Heather Fellbaum was 5th
and Vicky Thornton 6th. Rae Lomas was 6th on W70, John Britton 6th on M60, Laura
Hindle 8th on W16 and Liam Corner 9th on M40.
The first day of the Individual event was on the Hambleden estate with the rolling hills
and dry valleys characteristic of the Chilterns. The area was very fast with little
undergrowth, but many small features so care was needed. The second day near
Newbury was a more typical woodland with some brashings and undergrowth and
many vegetation boundaries and dry ditches. Over the two days of the Individual
events, Ben Dempsey won M12B, Andrew Gregory 2nd in M75L, Vicky Thornton 4th in
W50L and John Britton 6th on M60L. On the very tough M18E course Alex McCann just
beat Alistair Thornton by 3 seconds on the first day, but had a really excellent run on
the second day to finish 7th overall to Alistair’s still very good 13th place. Other top 10
placings were Sue Birkinshaw 5th on W75, Kate Bryant 8th on W60L, Alice Fellbaum 9th
in W20E and Alan Poxon 9th in M55S.
For the Relays we were back to Hambleden. Injuries unfortunately caused several
changes to Vicky Thornton’s carefully chosen teams, but we still had some very good
results. In the Veteran Women’s W165+ class Vicky Thornton came in first on the first
leg, followed by Julie Brook and Heather Fellbaum, finishing in fourth position overall.
In the same class Jane McCann, Jan Ellis and Kate Bryant also ran well to come seventh.
In the Women’s Short class Carolyn and Laura Hindle and Alice Fellbaum all ran good
legs to bring the team in fifth. We had entered three teams in the new Ultravets class,
where the combined ages of team members must exceed 210 years (with female
competitors counting for an extra 10 years). Dave Mawdsley, Andrew Gregory and
Chris Rostron came 5th, and the other two teams 13th (Trevor Roberts, Rae and Pete
Lomas) & 14th (Ian Watson, Sue Birkinshaw and Grahame Crawshaw).
The summary table of results shows the positions on the first three days, and the
overall position summing days 2 & 3.

JK Trail-O
John Kewley won the 2-day Elite Trail-O competition, which was held on the first two
days of the weekend at Whiteknights and Hambledon. This discipline requires very
careful thinking about correct control placement, and the ability to make these difficult
decisions as quickly as possible. Twenty competitors took part in the Elite event on
both days, so the competition was quite intense.

FOOTPATH RELAY
This year it is our turn as a club to organise the annual Peak District Footpath Relay.
This is a very informal low-key event involving running and orienteering clubs in and
around the Peak District. Teams of usually 10 runners cover a course of about 100 km
in total.
The event will be on Saturday 9th June, centred on Bakewell. Steve Lang is planning
the course, and it looks as if I shall be organizing and co-ordinating our team(s),
although I should be very happy for someone else to volunteer!
If you are interested in running please let me know, and we shall also require help
with marshalling changeover points and the logistics of transporting runners to the
start or from the finish of their leg. It usually provides a very pleasant and sociable day
out in the Peak District.

SATURDAY MORNINGS!
A new initiative for our winter Saturday morning events this year involved the idea of
a mass start and head-to-head racing on a course with butterfly loops. Courses
planned were the usual White, Yellow, Orange and Light Green. Those who wished
could opt for a 2-part race, doing the Orange course first and then a mass start of 6
runners at a time on the Light Green course. The time taken for the Orange course
determined which group of 6 you started in on the Light Green.
The Light Green had three butterfly loops
from a common point, and the 6 runners
did the loops in different orders. The
example shown is one of the 6 Light Green
courses from Prestwich Forest Park,
planned by Andrew Gregory
The other areas used were Chorlton Water
Park planned by David McCann and
Bramhall Park planned by Steve Lang.
The idea was quite successful and enjoyed
by those who took part. It also created
considerable interest for the spectators,
trying to work out who was leading.
Not many competitors took part in all three
events, but of those who did Rik Griffin was
clearly the overall winner. However
individual event winners were Steve Lang
at Chorlton, Nick Taylor at Bramhall and
Liam Corner at Prestwich.
A significant number of competitors just ran the Light Green on its own, showing that
there is a good demand for a course at this level in our more informal events.
Alison Doyle co-ordinated the series of events and Sue Birkinshaw, who suggested the
idea, sorted out the mass starts.
