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.

NEW CLUB CHAMPIONS.

Following the GO event at Waggoners Wells on 9 November we now have new Velvet Flyer and Molasses champions.

The Massons have taken the honours.

Shona Masson is the new Molasses champion. She beat Jackie Olive into second place and Samantha Martin was third. Last year's holder Sandra Vogel brought up the rear battling a very heavy cold and instructions not to compete!

Keith Masson is the new Velvet Flyer, with Nick Green taking second place and Nigel Bush third.

Check the Mole Roll for details of past winners

The full results are at the GO web site.

Congratulations are due to three Moles who are crowned SE Middle Distance Champions:

Alastair Masson (M12)
Keith Masson (M45/50)
Ted McDonald (M65+)

There was also a bronze medal for Shona Masson (W14)

Had the classes existed, rather than been combined with younger age groups there would have been further medals for Sandra Vogel in W40, Graham Sutton in M60 and Ian Ditchfield in M50.

Full results are here.

South East Relays 2008. MV fielded an impressive seven teams at the South East Relays, held on 31 Aug at Stanmer Park and the University of Sussex.

Congratulations are in order to two teams.

The Molecules won their event. Well done to Alastair and Shona Masson, and Jennifer Rowlett.

One of our two teams in the Men's Open managed third place. Congrats to Keith Masson, Ian Ditchfield and Tony Burton, collectively running as the Velvet Flyers.

The full results will appear here in due course.

Peter Burt Trophy. The Peter Burt Trophy was awarded at the South East Relays to Rachel Collins of Southdowns.

This trophy is presented annually to the most improved orienteer in the South East League, in memory of Mole Valley member Peter Burt. It rewards personal achievement on the basis of a fiendishly complicated scoring system in the tradition of Peter's long stewardship of the League. 

Rachel continues a family tradition - her father won the trophy last year!

See all past winners at the Mole Roll.
