After thirteen years of organising the HALO Lincolnshire Poacher series, Pete Kullich announced at the awards presentation ceremony that he was standing down to make place for a new series organiser for 2011.
Pete has built Poacher up from small beginnings to the very successful event series it is today, with an average of just under seventy competitors this year. Part of the enjoyment of the events is the post race analysis at local hostelries, which is unusual for orienteering events.
Of course Pete doesn’t do it all himself as these days there are planners, controllers, kite collectors, Brian on the computer, etc., but Pete has been the driving force throughout and his will be a hard act to follow.
