British TrailO Champions 2019
Congratulations to Tom Dobra BOK, British TrailO Champion 2019, the only competitor to get full points on the course in the South Cliff Gardens at Scarborough - though he then had one error at the timed controls. Silver medallist is Anne Straube OD, one point down and the same timed control error, and the bronze medal goes to John Kewley MDOC, best at the timed controls of several competitors who dropped two points on the course.
The Junior Trophy goes to River Edis-Smith MDOC and the Para Class was won by Colin Duckworth TVOC. There were 35 entrants for the Elite course on a sunny and warm day by the seaside, with fine views over South Bay to the castle from several places on the course. The Standard course was won by Daniel Figg EBOR and Edward Stott SLOW, both with 12 points out of a possible 15.
Thanks go to Peter and Christine Roberts EBOR, who masterminded and planned the whole event, and to many helpers from EBOR and elsewhere who ensured that the whole event ran smoothly.

Relay Bronze Medals for GBR at World Championships!
Congratulations to the GBR Open class Relay team at the World TrailO Championships in Portugal last week - a superb bronze-medal performance. Gold went to Finland and silver to Spain. The team was Charles Bromley Gardner BAOC, Tom Dobra BOK and John Kewley MDOC, competing in that order. They were one of only two teams to make no mistakes at the PreO controls. This is clearly a success-combination, coming after their Bronze medals in the European Championships Open Relay in Slovakia last year.
