As a club we are here to help you improve your Orienteering. Whether it be to around a local club event or you wish to test yourself at a national level, we are here to support you.

The first took place on Tuesday 9th February and led by club coach, John McIntosh, it gave members an opportunity to discuss the club events that took place at Worsley Woods and Blackleach Country Park. Watch this space for details of future sessions.
