We turned out in force at Claife Heights with one of our biggest squads for years. Complete with several new signings there was a good chance we would close the winning margin of the leading clubs. To increase our score by 52\u00a0on last year and\u00a0get within just two points of PFO was at the same time thrilling and gaolling. Leaving us with all those thoughts of what if and if only &#8230;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>However, the fact remains we have made\u00a0extraordinary improvements as a club in the last year. The thing to do now is to keep up with our racing, have fun and try to improve our technique further. If in particular our juniors and newcomers improve by just a few percent in the coming months\u00a0then we can expect more successes very soon.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lion King Theatre Trip<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p>Having booked tickets over 12 months ago the club trip to see Lion King on Wednesday 27th February is fast approaching. If anyone would like to meet in Manchester for tea before the show then contact Lisa.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Compass Sport Trophy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hopefully you have rejoined SELOC and let Alan Heron know you want to join our squad to run the Compass Sport Trophy round at Claife Heights, Hawkshead on 17th February. If you haven&#8217;t already please contact Alan immediately to secure your place to run. We have put a really good squad together this year and have a great chance of qualifying &#8211; good luck to everyone.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Let&#8217;s Go Training<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div>Cath Wilson (PFO) is putting on a training session at Peel Park, Accrington on Saturday 9th February and we are all invited!\u00a0A final\u00a0chance to practice our orienteering skills outside\u00a0of\u00a0competition before the Compass Sport.<\/div>\n<p>Location: Car parking will be signed off the A679 approx 1 mile west of the junction between the A679 and the A56.
