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.
