Not sure at all what this has to do with the WOC 2015 bid!? except for some personal publicity?

Not in the Inverness edition Brooner. I've just dug it out of the recycling sack and there's definitely nothing in my copy. It's reassurring that they've not totally ignored it though.
Strange, Page 6 (were you looking just at the Sport pages?) of the Inverness edition I have has it!

Re: Latest on WOC 2015 bid
If I remember rightly, the Swedish Federation took things into their own hands and started making their own TV reports from major events. They invested in one of the small, hand-held TV standard video cameras and made short reports which they then sent into the TV channels as well as putting out on their website. It's a matter of us making the effort (which for Follyfoot's information is really what Mrs H is advocating).
There's been some surprise at how the media here in Sweden has taken up the sport this last week, primarily due to the major success the squad has had. Still, Zlatan's foot got more attention earlier in the week. The three gold medal winners are due to appear on morning TV tomorrow on TV4 which normally never touches orienteering in its sports coverage.
One thing I picked up from the fall-out from the selection of Scotland to host WOC 2015 was a comment attributed to the leader of the Swedish bid committee. He said that "Scotland's bid was incomplete as they didn't have trail-o, which is a requirement". The fact that we are hosting the Trail-o WOC next year seemed to have passed him by. Does he not read the papers or watch TV?

Apologies to viewers south of Dundee - I know this is getting a bit parochial and this is my last mention of this, I promise.
Brooner... I got my copy in Dingwall and page 6 has lots about Tulloch Construction and a nice pictiure of the Inverness Caley Thistle ground, but sadly nothing about WOC 2015. Must be a Black Isle thing.

It has been pointed out to me that Spookster is holding the Union Jack upside down in the picture on the BOF site (which will also appear elsewhere). No such problems with my cheapo Scottish flag purchased at Edinburgh Airport just before the trip just in case!

Interesting to see that on the promotional video they show someone using an EMIT brick. Is that what WOC 2015 will be using?

The use of EMIT in the video was discussed a little earlier in this thread:

Re: Latest on WOC 2015 bid
We had very little time to get the promotional video done and I appealed on Nopesport for any suitable film footage. The best we had was Mharky running around for The Adventure Show, Park World Tour and some EventScotland aerial stuff. When we filmed the Adventure Show the Development Officer (Hilary) had the foresight to bring along an electronic punching unit - EMIT as this is what they have in the National Orienteering Centre store at Glenmore Lodge. We were after some "action" footage and EMIT was the only option going at the time. What will be used at WOC2015 will no doubt be determined by others and if EMIT is best so be it. SportIdent is the most likely candidate based on what I have seen so far (not much but WOC2011 certainly) but there could be a new and approved system by 2015 from either camp or someone else! I was interested to see the athletes didn't punch the last control but ran through an electronic timer at the end of their course.
The GPS footage was real - it was some of the TracTrac of the Elites taken at Oban2011 (GPSSeuranta used at WOC2011).
