Wessex Night League update - Fleming Park

By Colin Hicks , 1 February, 2015

Being Organiser, planner and mapper is a stretch, if not a little arduous. However, it is more easily acomplished when there is a good team of volunteers, so thanks to all the SOC members who helped and to Allan Farrington for the touchfree EMIT kit. Everyone seemed to enjoy the event and map area. It was good to get a 30+ turnout. I think the decision to extend the Fleming Park map westwards across the M3 proved a good one and made the area very suitable for a WNL event, providing a great variety of urban terrain. I will take on board the comments I got about some of the smaller alleyways and gaps needing to be widened out to improve the map clarity at 1:5,000. I wish to also put on record my thanks for the help I received from the following corporate organisations that allowed controls to be placed on their property.

Alison Andrews and Trevor White of Kier. Karl Golder of B & Q. John Stansfield of Ageas Insurance. 

Revised Handicap and non-handicap league table will be published by Gavin Clegg in mid February.

From the Organiser - please treat the results as provisional at this stage. Apologies for this. We have disscovered a few errors which are being worked on currently, and a revised listing will be posted as soon as is practical. Otherwise thank you for the good turnout and I hoped you enjoyed the event and the area despite the cold, icy and muddy conditions. We were lucky the wintery showers cleared up before the event started.
