This Trophy, awarded every year, is named after "Occasional Orienteers", a club that merged with Guildford Orienteers a couple of decades ago. There are four categories, and certificates are awarded to the first 3 in each, with the winner being awarded the OO Trophy. Congratulations to the winners and runners-up, and particularly Ian for retaining the Senior Men's Trophy:

Many new names this year, including Matthew Wells for whom I believe this was his first competitive event - well done! Nonetheless nice to see (as well as Ian) a couple of other previous Trophy holders back after a few years: Timothy Street had the Junior Men's Trophy as an M10 in 1998 and 1999, and Mary Fogo's name is on the Senior Lady's Trophy in 2000 and in 1991 - which is the first year on the Trophy, so I assume the first year this competition was run.

Also a special mention for Roger Maher who scored 115 points on Brown - more points than any of the above - but he graciously declared himself non-comp since he was the mapper!

The scoring for this competition is based upon your age class and the SE League "target minutes/km" for that age class. To score 100 points an M60 has to run 8.75 minute kilometres, a W70 14 mins, M16 7 mins and a W14 8.75. However an M14 or a W18 have to run 7.5 or 8.25 mins/km respectively to achieve the same score. Also each age class had to enter a minimum standard of colour/course (as advertised for the event) in order to be in the running for the Trophy.
