1st September 2024: Bill Stevens Trophy 2024
The Bill Stevens Trophy has been awarded this year to Rod Mansel of SUFFOC, who has quietly looked after download at many of the region's larger events and whose efforts are crucial in their success.
His role involves a lot of work behind the scenes in preparation as well as working under pressure to produce results on the day.
Well done Rod.

3rd October 2022: East Anglian School Champs 2022
On 2nd October SUFFOC hosted the 2022 East Anglian Schools Champs - the previous one was in 2019. Over 35 school pupils from 12 schools took part. A full report can be found on our schools page. on the SUFFOC website.
25th September 2022: Bill Stevens Trophy 2022
This year the Bill Stevens Trophy was awarded to Freya Askham for her efforts in organising the 2021 British Middles Champs on behalf of the region.
Since it is difficult to pass on an actual trophy via a zoom meeting link, Freya (pictured left) had to wait until SMOC's Milton Keynes event on 25th September, where she was officiating as controller, to receive this well-deserved item.
8th December 2021: Anne Braggins RIP
We are all sad to hear that Anne passed away on 27th November. Outside our region, Anne is mostly known for championing TrailO. It is down to Anne that TrailO is established as a recognised discipline within the sport of orienteering both nationally and internationally. In addition to this Anne helped create the East Anglian Regional Association and was chair of the region in the 1980's. Anne coordinated the 1986 JK held in our region, at Thetford Warren. She went on to become chair of the British Orienteering Federation between 1989 and 1992. A wealth of detail on Anne's achievements can be found in the obituary recently published on the BO website.
Although not an active competitor, Anne continued to be a presence in the sport, remaining a member of WAOC, representing TrailO on the EAOA committee, and organising TrailO events as part of the JK and more locally at WAOC events.
She continued to act as an on the day helper at our higher profile events until recently. Our best wishes go to her friends and family.
