197.0. "Orienteering Contact Wanted" by LARVAE::NISBET_D (Dougie Nisbet) Thu Aug 10 1989 15:43

Contrary to rumours being perpetrated in 194.*, I would like to partake in some
less sinister activities in Basingstoke.

I've picked the following info up out of the BASINGSTOKE & DEANE LEISURE GUIDE.

	BASINGSTOKE ANDOVER DISTRICT ORIENTEERS
	Mr C Smith, Cedar Cottage, Steventon, Basingstoke
	RG25 3BH Tel: 02575 283

Unfortunately, this information seems to be stupendously innacurate. Not only
could The Nice Directory Enquiries Woman not find a C Smith at any of the bits
of the address, an 02575 number is not a local number. Lancashire is a bit
nearer the mark.

So, any cunning runners out there? And can I play too? Who with, and where? How
much? Enquiring minds want to know.

Your Orienteeringly

Ian .\ I had a look, but it seemed to be very much US based. I'll take another look though for any local stuff. Dougie

	> .... 02575 number is not a local number ..... The other thing you might try is 025 6 75 = Anuway maybe this is part of the entrance test. Perhaps if you can't even phone the fellow up you may not do too well when you try the real thing ! Only kidding 8:) M.
