Survey - Taking TVOC Forward
Soon to reach members' doormats is a copy of the TVOC development committee report and a copy of a
survey/questionnaire that we would like all to complete and send back if possible. Alternatively
(and preferably for results compilation) you can complete the survey online.
The object of the club is to promote orienteering especially in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. TVOC is a friendly club and all officers and members are willing to help. PLEASE ASK. The club is run on informal lines with bi-monthly committee meetings, to which all members are invited to attend, to discuss future events, as well as matters of general interest to orienteers. Events and news items are published in the club newsletter, which is sent to all members at roughly bi-monthly intervals. The club puts on about 25 events a year, comprising large and small orienteering events and smaller events on Saturdays during the winter and evenings during the summer.

The next TVOC colour coded event is on Sunday 24th October and is at Kingswood, High Wycombe. See the events page for details.
TVOC Development Committee
As mentioned in the last newsletter, nine people volunteered to consider what we as a club might do to ensure we have a sustainable and successful future: Neville Baker, Ian Buxton, Mark Collis, John Dalton, Carol Edwards, Nigel Gooddy, Alun Jones, Norman Liley and Peter Riches. We have all been working hard over the past few weeks to develop a constructive set of proposals, building on the good work that has been done in the club in the past.
Our aim is to have a document for preliminary review at the club meeting on 20th July. All members are of course welcome to attend and contribute at that meeting. Subject to any major comments at that meeting, we then plan to circulate the document to all members, so that you all have an opportunity to comment on the proposals, including whether you would be likely to participate in the various types of event proposed, and what you would be prepared to do to help.
This is a major initiative for the club, and we want to make sure we get it right. So we will be very keen to hear what you all think.
