The series is brought to you by members of Oxford's two orienteering clubs:


Thames Valley OC

Oxford University OC

TVOC MapRun OSS

The Oxford Street-O series is currently suspended due to the COVID-19 situation. Primarily due to the fact that the event centres we traditionally use are closed and that an event gathers people together for a length of time.

However, TVOC has created a Summer series of events based on the MapRunF smart phone application that allows an individual run around a Street-O event. Full details can be found on the TVOC website on how the MapRun system works.
tvoc maprun

This includes all the events supported by TVOC. Some of the events have been collected together to form a MapRun Oxford Street-O series for the Summer, to allow you to run around the events. Details of this series are here. There is a qualifying period for you to run the event to register a result for the OSS MapRun league. Even though this is nominally based around Oxford, the events are spreading out over the whole of the TVOC area.

Abingdon results are published

The results of the Abingdon event are now posted on the OSS website.
Thanks go to Nigel for planning and to the Kings Head and Bell for
hosting us for the evening.

We had a good turn out for the evening with a number of new faces
coming along to try the format. I hope you enjoyed the event and
will come and participate again.

As usual if you spot any mistakes, (Name, Club, Class, Points)
please let me know and I try and fix them up.

Thame results are published

The results for Wednesdays Oxford Street-O event in Thame are now up on the website. Thanks to Jon for planning and the James Figg for hosting once again.

Once again it was worth looking at where the points were on the map before heading off for your run. I know it caught some people out.

Not as breezy as one had expected but the drizzle/rain was something else especially for the late starters. I did think later in the evening whilst standing in the shower that I was drier there than during the last five minutes of my run.

As usual, if anyone spot any corrections for the results (name, club, class, position, points, penatlys) then let me know and I’ll try and fix them up.

Jericho results are published

Hello,

The results of the Jericho event were posted to the OSS website
some days ago. Thanks go to Ben for planning in his customary
haunt and the Rickety Press for hosting us for the evening.

We had a good turn out for the evening with a number of
students from OUOC. Hopefully you enjoyed it and will
come and participate again.

John Owens has now taken over the lead of the Mens competition,
and the grouping of John, Roger & Nigel looks set for a tight
race for the title.
Katie has cemented her lead in the Womens with another win, though
Rebecca managed to tie with her for this event.

As usual if you spot any mistakes, (Name, Club, Class, Points)
please let me know and I try and fix them up.

The next event is a brand new area to OSS in Witney, Tue 12th Nov.

Iffley results are published

Hello,

The results for the first Street-O of the year are now up on the website.
Many thans to Bill for planning and the Prince of Wales for hosting a great event. It was good to see a fair few number out for the first event, even in the slight drizzle. We welcome those newcomers to the series and hop you all enjoyed yourselves. Roger and Katie have taken a slender lead at the top of the standings so far.
If there are any corrections to be made in the results, (Name, Club, Catagory) then please let me know, and I’ll fix them up.

Note the second event is now intended to be on Wednesday 23rd October. (Change from the original date)
Hopefully the event centre will be the Rickety Press in Jericho, to be confirmed.

Also, the OSS website based on WordPress currently seems unable to send out email. I’m working on a resolution for this, but until that happens either the post messages will continue to work, or you will need to look directly at the website for information. You may also receive multiple emails from the OSS site whilst I try to fix the issue, appologies in advance.
