SARUM Orienteers were put through their paces at the club championships.

Held in Churchill Gardens as part of the Sarum Summer Series midweek planning events, planner Joan Hambleton, last year’s veteran ladies champion, devised two challenging courses using straight lines only.

Each course had an undeclared number of controls placed somewhere on the line, not necessarily on a feature, but there were no control descriptions or codes

given. Some controls were common to both courses and controls were

visited more than once on a course.

There were thirty second time penalties for controls missed or punched.

At the end of the event, Hazel Cutler and Jeff Butt were senior ladies' and

men’s champions respectively, with Charlotte Thornton and Ian Peirce

were veteran winners.
