BOK AGM/Skittles/Buffet, Ring O'Bells, Nailsea, 23 September
For those who may not have remembered, there is still time (just) to send me your replies. Deadline is this Wednesday, 9 September 2009.
Attendance at the AGM is free of charge and everyone is welcome. The Klub's informal social get-together, which follows immediately after the AGM at about 20.15hrs, consists of skittles and a substantial buffet. For your subsidised buffet (£6 for adults, £3 for children) you can email me your details and then send them together with a cheque, made out to 'BOK', to Robin Walker, 18 Mulberry Close, Backwell, Bristol, BS48 3HX, as soon as possible.
30 people have already said they are coming, so there should be lots of opportunity to socialise with other members.

Club Championships - Start Times
John Simmons writes:
The start times are based on past results - I've trawled recent events and have tried to find a few results for each of you (and have thrown away really bad runs where I came across them). Then I have aimed at getting bunches of courses finishing at the same times. So White, Yellows and Oranges should come in around 11:30, Light green and Green at 12:00, and Blues should finish at 12:15 (or there abouts) to the applause of assembled masses.
You will need to get to the start 5mins in advance of your allocated start to be ready to go when the clock shows your time.

Kingswood School Summer Informal - Organiser report
Jackie Hallet writes:
A total of 40 people turned out for the first event on the updated map incorporating Kingswood School and Primrose Hill. Of this 18 were juniors, 15 of whom enjoyed the white course of 1 km with Lucy Tonge having the fastest time of 11 minutes. Michael Hallett was fastest on the 3 km orange course with 38.42 minutes. Mark Bown produced an amazing time of 33.31 minutes on the 5 km blue course with 170 metres of climb. I am sorry we overlooked the extra path off to the right from the public footpath did not spoil anyone’s run too much. I hope some people managed to enjoy the fantastic views across Bath in the glorious evening sunshine. The event had an international flavour with 1 girl from Finland and 5 French competitors. I must apologise for my lack of French, especially at registration as when Christophe was mentioned I thought they meant our summer evening coordinator who just happened to arrive at that very moment, but it turned out that he didn’t actually know him but that the man registering was called Christophe also. C’est la vie!!
Thanks to all the helpers: John, Sandy, Clive and Michael.
Lost properties: a thumb compass, a whistle (Contact the series coordinator, Christophe Mutricy)

Overscourt Wood - Organiser report
Dudley Budden writes:
The inaugural event on Overscourt Wood on a hot and balmy evening attracted 24 competitors. 19 of whom were, or are, BOK members. 16 tackled the Short Blue with Paul Gebbett completing it in a fastest time of 45 minutes, for 5.6k, 110m climb. The other eight participants were, white (2), Yellow (3), and Orange(3); which was a little disappointing as the area is ideal for beginners and novices. Most BOK members were in agreement the area should be used for an ASO event. The long grass though at this time of year did not reflect the area at its best.
Some people were glad of the extra water which was on offer with temperatures well up into the mid twenties.
Thanks to Anne, Katy, and Laurence for their help during and after the event.
