Yvette Baker Shield
Congratulations to our juniors who tied for first place in the South East heat of the Yvette Baker Shield at Gravetye Manor - a tough area made even more challenging by the wet and muddy conditions. They will now take on the qualifiers from other regions of the country at the final later this year.
Launch of Junior Participation Scheme
This weekend saw the launch of DFOK’s junior participation scheme at the Buckmore Park KOL. Here DFOK juniors were handed out a passport in which they can start to log the events they go to. After reaching a certain number of attendances, they will then be rewarded with prizes ranging from a whistle to a DFOK buff. These will be awarded for participation in 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 events.

Christmas Challenge Results
A big thank you to everyone who participated in the Christmas Challenge. Hopefully you all had fun and enjoyed the planning/intellectual challenge that was required before starting. Thanks, must also go to Andrew Evans for updating the map and setting the event up on MapRun, Philip Craven for his patience with the various website changes, Luke Bennett for the nice snowy picture and David Lefevre for acting as adjudicator. I enjoyed the challenge too, working out what type of “fun” loops I could make, creating a bonus system that meant all four quarters of the park needed to be visited and learning how to use the “look up” function in Excel.
