Results from the Swinley event are now available on the Summer Series Results page. New photos available on the Photos page are from the Cassiobury MLS event, R Signals Harris Championships and the JK Relays. This week's Summer Series event is on Wednesday 9 July at Bulford Ranges. Starts are from 1230 - 1600. This is an informal event with limited facilities on site - see the flier. The Infantry Training Camp (Ex Running Needle) will take place from 19 - 25 August in Yorkshire. Three days of training are followed by three days of competition at the White Rose Weekend. Applications to join the camp are required by Monday 21 July.
We now have events planned for every Wednesday in July so keep checking the events list for further details. We still need organisers for events in August. The summer events are informal training and an opportunity for new officials to plan and organise their first events or an opportunity to provide various training exercises such as brown-only maps that would not be possible at league events. If you can organise an event, pick your date and let Colin Holcombe and Jerry Newcombe know so the date can be reserved and published. E-Results Lite Operating instructions are now available. These are a revised version of the document distributed by Phill Batts at the recent Emit Organisers Course held at Longmoor. The revised version includes an extra section on runners not yet downloaded, producing results and saving the file. Spare a moment to register a vote for the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Lottery Awards. The memorial project is trying to raise the last £2.5m of its £9.2m target and is competing with 9 other projects for Heritage Lottery Funds. Your vote is needed to help secure the lottery funding. Dave Stevens visited the memorial recently and was startled to see that his visit coincided with them adding Nick Bateson's name to the memorial. More about the project can be found at the website of the Armed Forces Memorial Appeal. Tell your friends about the appeal.

All units and individuals are reminded that full leg cover must be worn when orienteering. This is not just to protect the runner's legs but to prevent the transfer of infections through scratches at common points such as a control site. The wearing of shorts is not allowed. OUT OF BOUNDS AREAS: Mytchett, Old Windmill Hill and Congo Stream areas are now out of bounds for orienteering until February 2009 due to the British Night Championships.
If you have been promoted or changed units, or you are new to the League, please email with your details. For those new to the Military League (South), I need your Service No., Rank & Initial, Surname, Unit, M/F, DOB and Emit card number (if you own one or have one permanently allocated). 4 Div Start & Finish banners are sponsored by Travel and Trek.
