Yorkshire Night League
A night orienteering competition that takes place each winter, a series of events put on by each of the large clubs in the association.
Organiser's comments: Thank you to all who helped put on a successful night event, in particular Tony Thornley who undertook the Nell Bank co-ordination and who was the controller, Frank Kew who planned great courses with some multi-choice legs (e.g. 11 to 12 on Brown - at least three different types of routes were taken), and who had several competitors spinning around in the Nell Bank grounds (myself included), and Dan and his team at Nell Bank. David W ran SI from start to end as was one of the last to depart, despite not running himself, and Andrew and Julie collected controls once our last competitor finally checked in about 15 minutes after the courses closed. We lost at least half a dozen competitors to the Edinburgh Big Weekend or illness, but I would be intrigued to have any other feedback as to why entries were down on the usual AIRE YHOA night event, especially in the context of the highest New Year's Day event turnout for eight years and 280 runners competing at Bramley Fall. Thank you again to everyone, and the winter night league continues this Wednesday at Northcliffe; our next big event is on 16 Feb on Harden Moor. David (secretary@aire.org.uk).
Lost property: One pair of medium sized, well worn, black Thinsulate fluffy gloves: email David, the organiser, if they are yours: secretary@aire.org.uk
