ABOUT MOLE VALLEY ORIENTEERING CLUB

Mole Valley Orienteering Club covers parts of South London and Surrey and the River Mole lies at its heart. Our members cluster around the towns of Reigate, Epsom, Dorking, Sutton, Leatherhead and their surroundings. However we also have members that live further afield. 

Our official name is Mole Valley Map and Compass Foot Racing Society - we abbreviate to MV for easy reference!

We take the swallow as our symbol as it represents the swallow holes in the River Mole. These are holes in the river bed that mean the river disappears underground during dry periods. We also like to think that because swallows are fast and accurate navigators, they suit us well as an emblem.

Mole Dinner 2008. a positive labour of Moles collected together for the 2008 Mole Dinner. So many, in fact, that we barely fitted round the table.

The Dinner is the time when club trophies are traditionally presented.

Club Handicap and Junior Flyer awards were presented to Keith and Shona Masson (virtually as they weren't able to attend), while Ian cleverly presented the George Murray Trophy and Velvet Flyer to himself. The Molasses trophy was presented to Sandra Vogel.

The Mole Of The Year trophy was awarded to Margaret Stedman. Watch the next edition of the Journal for the full citation.

Check the Mole Roll for details of past winners of all these trophies.

The Club Handicap Championships were held on 24 Feb at the LOK event at Holmbury Hill.

Keith Masson retains the trophy for a second year, while in the junior competition Shona Masson steals the honours from brother Alastair.

Well done to everyone who took part. If you'd like to see the full results, click here (PDF document).

NB - these results were based on LOK's provisional event results and may change if there is any alteration in the final version.

View past winners and other information at the Mole Roll.

Thanks to Philip Gristwood for working at lightning fast speed to produce these results quickly.
