O-Ringen alternatives

[Peter B]

As many british o-fans jet off from various airports around the UK to the mecca and annual communial orienteer gathering that is the O-Ringen, let us spare a thought or two for those stuck at home not going
Whos going to be suffering at home doing probably not much but wish that you were there and then having to dread reading through no doubt pages of banter and gossip on the topic in just over a weeks time?

[brooner]

not going but not stuck at home, there'll be a bunch of us up at laganlia learning how to orienteer. whoops, no i mean learning how to teach people how to orienteer, ahh thats the one.

[Becks]

I'm not going either, far too expensive - grr! I shall be spending some time at home before heading off to the Land of Surrey for a week to take my mind off the pain!

Not going either, but off with Becks and some others from OUOC to Hungary instead. But the Varsity Match next year is in Sweden

[Dan]

[Simon]

No foreign trip for me. Just large piles of work over the next few weeks.

[MarkC]

yes, surrey, theres a cheap alternative...

It's certainly cheaper than Cambridge, so probably cheaper than Oxford too. And it doesn't cost much to get here

[Drew]

it costs about the same to gget to skavsta these days as it does to get to surrey.

But in Surrey I have a free house and food. And it only costs 30 quid to get there by NAtional Express.

wot's this vm story then?

[MarkC]

wot's this vm story then?

Stockholm area again (Järfälla), organised by the Rollers. The date hasn't been fixed yet to avoid clashing with major UK races, but is likely to be April rather than March so there won't be so much snow on the ground!

gonnae no use 'vm' for varsity match, gets very confusing - 'vm' is scandy for world champs, so saying ur going to vm in sweden means sommit completely different

jus' gonnae no

[ic]

jag hade inte tänkt springa vm i sverige i år (i nån anledning som jag kommer inte på just nu)...

thanks to the tab captain. could be tempted to put in an appearance.
