Hi! Welcome to the first newsletter of a new year. For those who are new to the club, newsletters are rather sporadic and tend to come out when I'm feeling in the mood for writing one of them. However, officially they come out twice a term and are full to the brim with exciting news and gossip. As of yet, I've never had any contributions from any other member of the club but that's not through want of trying on my part. Any snippets of gossip or amusing articles are very welcome. Basically, most things of importance go out via e-mail so if you're not on the server, get talking to Cuzza (dave.currie@sjc.ox.ac.uk). Happy reading! And, to coin a phrase, "May you all run in sunlit forests" Christine. Freshers' Events Well, there were two of these of the orienteering variety and they proved to be a rip-roaring success. For those who have been clamouring for results: Orange: Red: Only one brave soul did the technical course but being a Canadian international he couldn't really have done anything else. Dave Donaldson was the inevitable winner in a time of 62:41. |
Generally, the courses were quite hard so don't be put off if you got a bit lost. A round of applause to Cumpster the chimpster for his great organising skills. Fixtures Right, things are looking pretty packed for the rest of the term. If you want to do any of the events then let me know. Me being contactable in any of three ways: e-mail: cashton@jesus.ox.ac.uk

9th wk - Cambridge's training tour. Contrary to popular belief in Oxford, the Tabs are actually quite a nice bunch of people. They're having a week's training in the Lake District. Stories from last year include canoe-orienteering on Windermere, lots of yummy food, orienteering on superb areas, walking up Old Man of Coniston for those who don't want to orienteer every second of every day and lots of other amusing and unrepeatable tales. It should definitely be a fun few days. I don't have all the practical details yet. A lot depends upon how many people from Oxford want to go. I need a rough idea of numbers fairly soon so get signing in the book. Socials OUOC isn't just about orienteering. Nicky (living up to her title as social officer by turning up to the last event in a mini skirt) claims to have a few ideas up her sleeve as far as socials are concerned and hopefully they'll be better attended than the ill-fated freshers' drinks. Where were all the freshers? Plans are afoot for a roving meal in 4th week, a cinema trip and a Christmas curry. That's all in addition to the weekly pub meet on Sunday evenings. I think we've moved to the Turf now but the mailing list provides up-to-the-minute info on that. |
