Organisers Comments

Today 21st June 2009 at Tandle Hill Country Park the East Lancashire Wing ATC Orienteering competition was held. Seventeen teams from 14 Squadrons took part. They ran an orange standard course 2.85 km long. The winning squadron was 1969 from Rossendale. Both members of the team are members of Pendle Forest Orienteering Club. The organisers and helpers for PFO and SELOC were impressed by some of the results from the non orienteer’s who obviously put lots of effort into the competition. 

The event was run for the Wing by the three local clubs in which the squadrons are based, Manchester and District Orienteering Club (MDOC), South East Lancashire Orienteering Club (SELOC) and Pendle Forest Orienteering Club (PFO). These clubs would welcome enquiries to help develop orienteering further in the various units by providing coaching and events for the cadets to go to.
