Sorry guys - I wasn't trying to put others off. I have heard they have been very helpful through the years and had been until I got the weird (and annoying) email.

Anyway, have a great w/e.

Cheers

JK

That’s a shame you had that happen to you JK....but I for one would not wish your experience to put MDOC members off using YMCA they have been very accommodating to all orienteers over many many years.  Eg The BOF Lakeside regional junior training camp was held there for donkeys years until it was switched to Hawkshead  in recent times and MDOC has stayed there before and had positive experiences.

Thanks for the offer, but as a point of principle I won't be giving any custom to YMCA for some time to come, especially at Lakeside, after their treatment of me last year. I spent a fair bit of time, effort and petrol in arranging the British Trail-O Championships for there before they suddenly announced that the voluntary donation we'd expect to make should be 2000 pounds (yes 3 zeros) when my anticipated numbers were 15-25, just for walking (or in some cases wheelchairing) round their paths, competitors wouldn't be entering the terrain.

Hi
The club have made a block booking of the Far Wing of Somervell House at the Lakeside YMCA for Saturday night May 19th
The accommodation is in rooms with 4 beds(2 double bunks).The cost is £15 pppn.Breakfast can be booked separately @ £5
 At present we have 10 spaces still available.
Lakeside is not much more than a mile from the assembly area at Finisthwate House so the accommodation is very convenient.

Regards
Pete Lomas
