 After the vigorous online voting for the various charities nominated, online polling has been closed and the data presented. Thanks to all the individuals who initially nominated their charity and to all those people who voted on the site. It was an interesting experiment which we have not done before and one which i would like to develop and carry forward with other issues. In the truest tradition, please read on to see which nomination came top in the poll.....

 James and I had discussed creating a video for this Christmas Message and have it scheduled to coincide with the Queen's Christmas broadcast - and then we thought twice about it! Maybe next year. In all seriousness, 2007 has been one of those years when there has been a continuous stream of events which have kept everybody well and truly on their toes. Forgetting all the various photographic links - they are really too numerous to mention even though they form the backbone of the OFC - the 'extra-curricular' activities this year really have been marvellous. I would like to try and acknowledge most. Read more...

 Sadly we hear the news that Betty Wainwright, beloved wife of Alfred Wainwright has passed away. The news is very sad but we should be joyous in the fact that she saw the resurgence of her late husband's work before today.

She has witnessed the birth of the OFC, the inauguration of the Wainwright Society and the republication of the AW guides. |

 The updated OFC website is a year old. It doesn't seem two minutes since a band of merry fellwalkers took to southern slopes in order to launch the site from the summit of Ivinghoe Beacon.
