Apologies for poor maths - my ratio should have been more like 1:10. This is why I have to triple check that I've got the map scale correct.

[Red Adder]

Have to agree with Simon and his comment on the spending of the VAT rebate on a totally pointless consultancy project. I seem to remember it was all done and dusted before many of the members cottoned on to the spend. Something like a Trust Fund to support mapping projects would have been far more worthwhile. It was a truely scandalous waste of money.

[eddie]

this chat has descended into utter guff.

[Simple Soul]

What should have been a celebration of a member of the Orienteering community receiving an MBE for services to Orienteering has become a negative diatribe on some other topic. How many other sports in the UK have a British President of their International Federation? This should be a cause for celebration!

I do wonder how the professional mappers get on when they cannot see the wood for the trees.

[Tatty]

Can we close this thread now? PLEASE

[AndyC]

If it takes more than one vote to close a thread -here's mine!

started as fluff (even if intended as well deserved praise) and turned into guff

[andypat]

I dont know. First it was Terry Wogan retiring. Now this thread is threatened with closure. What am I going to do for light entertainment now?

[Mrs H]

Inclined to agree Andypat. It's this, Dan Brown or the snooker.

You could start some banter eg. "Things you can do with a bucket of snow?"

Or something that will start a really good row.

I have, or at least had, no idea who they are/were, and i'm not sure that i'm much the wiser now, but I have found the whole thing very entertaining....long may it run

Snowed in with girls Mrs H? I should be so lucky - try being snowed in with a vomiting teenage boy

My only prior knowledge of Simon Beck came from the Simon Beck Memorial Trophy, which OUOC award annually for the best (or worst, it's not entirely clear) dancing at a club event in the previous year.

B Simon Beck

I'm glad he didn't go to Sheffield or the trophy might have come home at Christmas with Young Neville and his dirty washing (I've heard reports of the Spook weekend )

[Ed]

you mean both the actual and the metaphorical dirty washing came home?

bad form.
