With the launch of the new BOK website at www.bristolorienteering.org.uk, the posting of News items can be delegated to other Klub members. To avoid duplication of effort, the BOK Blog (http://bristolorienteering.blogspot.com/) will be wound down and items will be posted directly on to main site. Contact John Simmons for detailed instructions.
For people who use the Blog to receive RSS feeds of updated items by email, please change your feed reader to use http://www.bristolorienteering.org.uk/rss.xml. The feed will include both News items and Results.

New BOK website
The current BOK website has done sterling service but is in need of a revamp and a new platform to make it easier to maintain and enhance. Scott Bailey has made great strides with the design of our new site and we are now at the point of asking for 'user feedback'. Please try out the site at http://www.bristolorienteering.org.uk/test/drupal/
The intention replace the existing site with the new one in the middle of September. So please email 'webmaster@bristolorienteering.org.uk' with comments and suggestions.

Dorset Coast Path Relay
Tim Britton writes "Please can I have a show of hands of who's keen to run for BOK in this year's Dorset Coast Path Relay on Saturday 3rd September?
Last year I hoped that a small but fast team would challenge Wessex's dominance. We managed it, for a while, but the sheer number of runners that WSX can put out meant that they got away from us. We did however win the handicap trophy with our small number and fast time.
This year if possible I'd like as many of our 'fast' runners as we can muster and to have a supporting team to help out on the shorter legs and the hilly changeover points.
So please let me know as soon as possible if you're keen to join the team.
The race starts in Lyme Regis at 0800 and ends at Sandbanks, Poole usually about eight hours later. Full details here: http://web.mac.com/richardsonjx/DorsetCoastPathRelay/Home.html.
I look forward to hearing from you (tim.g.britton[@]blueyonder.co.uk)."

Whole Sport Plan for Orienteering
Have your say in British Orienteering's Whole Sport Plan.
There is less than two years to run of our current Whole Sport Plan. With this in mind BOF needs to start thinking about the plan for the next period and are seeking your views early in this process. It's worth noting that this plan for orienteering is nothing to do with sports councils and is everything to do with understanding the needs and priorities of orienteers and orienteering clubs.
The following link is to a questionnaire which is aimed at getting an initial sampling of members’ views towards the work done as part of the current Whole Sport Plan. There will be a more in-depth consultation period based on the ideas expressed at a later stage.
Whole Sport Plan Questionnare
BOF are keen for as many club members as possible to have their say.

A great weekend on the Gower
Tony Lloyd reports...
Having returned from my first CampO weekend with BOK/SBOC I would like to thank all involved in planning and setting it up. Being new to orienteering the different terrains were first times for me on both days and the BBQ social was a good opportunity to meet more of you (not always easy on a Sunday event). Cheers for a great experience, am looking forward to next time. Word got round that I took part in the early morning extra curricular activity on the beach at Llangennith. Many of you asked, with interest, how it was. I should have not been surprised given that orienteers are not slow at undressing in open spaces, a trait shared by surfers and other outdoor sports. ..... "The Skinny Dip was brilliant, great atmosphere, cold defeated by a massive adrenalin rush, you must have seen it in all the papers. We raised £14000+ for Marie Curie Cancer care -- see my perspective on http:www.justgiving.com/tony-lloyd0 " ............ I have not reached my target sponsorship yet so feel free!
