Our Ladies team (Saxons Threshers) had a successful trip to the Harvester overnight relay, winning the Women’s Premier class – a first for us. From the 1:30 am Start, Cate Slade, Sarah Covey-Crump, Holly Howe, Alice Evans and Gaby Roch ably navigated through King’s Wood, Challock.

The Saxons Scythes and Saxons Pitchforks also completed the B course without incident, the Scythes taking first place on the course and the B Handicap trophy. The Results are here https://www.jok.org.uk/harvest...

The event was Organised by JOK, with some Saxons playing key roles: The courses were Planned by our Peter Lilja, who mastered the complexity of planning the two separate races, and Simon Blanchflower & Brian Henry who updated the map.

Our thanks go to JOK, Gordon Parker (SLOW) (Equipment & live Results) and Andrew Evans (DFOK) Controller. Credit goes to Nick Barrable for getting the event up and running.

Good bit of team selection, Brendon, and well-run, all who took part.
