JK Women's Vets

So....four great days of orienteering at the JK this weekend are over - and with a range of impressive results from so many different FVO people, not to mention the great organisational effort on Saturday for which many thanks are due to David Nicol as day organiser. And as if that was not enough, FVO also provided the Controllers for all the individual days (Ted Finch, Gareth Bryan-Jones and Brian Bullen), as well as Colin Matheson's key role in the overall event co-ordination.

Well done everyone for a fantastic effort all round! Particular congratulations are of course due to our winners and medallists from the weekend - some of them coming away with prizes from all of Sprint, Individual, and Relay (does anyone really need three JK buffs??). And those congratulations go to:
