Did your youngsters enjoy the Orienteering in the summer? ( I know the answer to this is yes ). Then why not come and join us on Sunday afternoon in Gosford for a lot more fun and games where we'll be on hand to offer help and tips to get them more confident at going it alone around Yellow and Orange courses in the future. It was brilliant to see so many of them try this summer, so we thought it would be a good idea to put on some sessions to help them grow in ability and confidence.

So when and where:
🌳Sunday 4th October - 2pm
🌳Gosford Forest
🌳only £3 per kid, maximum £10 per family (free for club members)
