For many of us it WBS a first time orienteering trip to Irelande:.~ to county Wtcklow. We enjoyed your torests - some even enjoyed thebranble~1 r am only sorl y that we had to depart so precipitately afterthr Releys,' but we did cetch the lerry with 45 minut.s to spare.

Other sPorts bodies that were once equallymlnor(eg. sWlmmlng. athletlcs. rOWIng, cycllng) haveralsed their general performance by overcomingconstraints slmilar to those that we experience.Is this slippage due to a lack of thought about generalOrganlsatlon, as opposed to event organlsatlon? If so,is'nt this bIzarre for practltioners of "the thoughtsport"? Is dOIng it In the bush good enough at thisstage of the sport's development?

Dear John,As usual, I enjoyed your comprehensive report on the

Irish Championships but one comment did catch my eye -"several surprises in the results: Cork Orienteers' BillEdwards came from nowhere to finish 3rd in M21A".

The performances listed below demonstrate a steadilygrowing talent

but I wonder if we have developed a blind spot with regardto the top end of the Juniors and assume that they will nottransfer successfullY to the Senior ranks. Fortunately Bill( Una, Rory, .... ) would appear to prove otherwise although Iwill admit that in this age group we do lose a disturbing·number of good competitors,

The question is, can Irish orienteering really developat international level without a constant supply of youngcompetitors who have grown up with the sport as a naturalpart of their activities.

Yours sincerely,~/TYlcL

The XIV I.O.F. CONGRESS took place at Torbole,It.al.y,in June.Delegates stillrecall their happy time and great atmosphere at theCongress in Maynooth, I984. The compliments are still coming.

An I.O.F: Council ruling last year had rather arbitarily movedIreland and Qreat Britain to the North Atlantic Region,together withCanada,Cuba and USA. A resolution put forward by GBR and Ireland wasaccepted, and we are to return to Europe,once a suitable formula is workeout.

The IOF Outline Longterm Plan had been circulated ~o 0 Foderationsand during tho week working groups discussed various aspects of the Plan,and made variOUS reoommendations. The ammended Plan was accepted, and thoreport will be sent to Federations. The' 0 for AL'L ' working grouppropose~ that Beginners be allowed to compete in pairs, to give moreconfidence and hopefully ,less drop outs.

The 1989 WORLD ORIENTEERING CHAMPIONSHIPS in Sweden will have aQualification Race and an A and a B Final. This is necessary because ofthe large number of runners, 30--34 Nations, and the difficulty ofextending Start Timcs ,while keeping the Race fair.

As soon as possIble ne~ll31isciplines I will be introduoed to allowmore runners ,especially from the 'weaker Nations' to compete at thel~orld Championships. --An example being ISprint 0'. Trial r-aces in newDisciplines will tahe place at some Horld Cup Events.

The IOF Congress 1990 is to take place in Cambridge. Anne Bragginsthe BOF Vice Chairman, has already collected information and materialsfrom the Congress at Maynooth--to help with Planning.

The OPEN JUNIOR EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS now have the status of --:Junior World Orienteering Championships.

I 4 JOURS DE CHAMPAGNE 1988 IIn 1986 nearly 4000 orienteers supported an ambitious 6 Day event(3 Days near Dijon in Cote D'Or and 3 more near Gerardmer (Siteof '67 World ChampionShips). This formula Of uSing 2 differentorganiSing teams located more than 200 kilometres apart presentedgreat Challenges Of cordlnatlon, the outcome of which did notplease everybOdy. Nevertheless more than 2000 orienteers cameback this year to see what the French and in particular the8pernay organisers had in store. What follows Is a personal viewof the outcome.This event was centred on the 'Montanges de Rhelms' a 16wforested ridge stretching almost from Rheims to Epernay. One wasreminded ot Champagne everywhere the obvious sponsorship,the daily bubbly prizes, the terrain (even one map went over theCanarde-Ouchene cellars ..yes we were running over 30 millionbottles of Champagne). The chalky conditions underfoot made forsticky gOing on the one really wet day, and I will leave you toimagine what the run-ln was like after it had been trodden on by4000 feet and not a few hands.uslnq a common assembly and finJsh area located at the interfaceOf tfie maps tor day 1 and day 2 was a great help to bothorganisers and competitors ... you knew exactly where to go and howlong it would take. AS we stayed in the excellent MuniCipal campSite In Chalons (40 km from the event centre) and did not havethe benefit of road signs, thiS was very helpful. Likewise forDay 3/4. Another feature was the random selection of 32competitors from all Classes tor a pOints compet1tion with theprize of a week in Carroe skl resort.The maps were all photogrametrlcally based '66 maps and apartfrom a few minor omissions on day 3 (reported by more than 1Irish Competitor), were top class. Great use was made of the manyWorld War 1 trenches, some are still in good shape, and flashesof "The Mud' Of 1916 ran vividly thru the mind's eye especiallyon day 1. No control descriptions were prOvided on the map or atthe start, whiCh was to say tne least a little upsetting for theunprepared. The courses Offered good route choices with tbeoptimum route almost always being the straight line, Where amultitude of contour detail separated the competent from thelucky. One was never far from the attractive scenery with 1000sof hectares Of vines creeplng up to the 'cote de foret'.The event attracted mostly French with a tew hundred Swedes,Norwegians,Danes, and Brits. IDA representation consisted ofWatts, De Laceys, and Flanagans, while Wilbert and family keepthe NIOA flag flying. Best overall performances came from theHollingers with Ruth finiShing 12th and Wilbert 16th out of 100+

All thanks for this situation must go to UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CORKORIENTEERING CLUe (UCCO). who wrote the program used to operate thesystem. In particular, our thanks must go to TONY COTTER of UCCOwho designed the system, wrote mont of the code and was involved Inthe solution of all the problems. The last problem to be solvedwas the relationship of M/W21 Elite, A and 8. These six classeshave now been incorporated In two common .Iists. so B runners willbe able to compare their performances with Elite runners.

The main activity of the night was the on-going barbeque In thepeaceful walled garden of Newbrldge house. G.E.N. 's res Ld en tohef, Peadar Dempsey - clad In most becoming garb - workedunceasingly over his hot charcoal, dishing up free food whl Ienearby the wine flowed almost as freely.

People lingered on as dusk fel I and the orchard was IIt by amel low glow from the wei I concealed flood lamps. As with al Itrue Midsummer nights, darkness never really came and as wereturned from this cameo of gracious living, the moon shone outover the parkland and the wralth-I Ike ground mist hid the routeswe had taken earlier on In the evening.Once again, al I was peace awaiting the dawn of the next summerday.Diana Large
