Original Notice

The SCOA Junior Squad are organising an event on Wednesday 29 October at Chawton Park Wood near Alton. This forms part of the military mid-week league but the event is open to everyone. 5 courses will be available (Brown, Blue, Light Green, Red and Yellow) at the bargain price of £2 (plus £1 emit card hire if needed).

Normal facilities will be available plus Ultrasport and a burger van, so you don't even need to bring a packed lunch. This is half-term week in a lot of areas so come along to support the Junior Squad and get some mid-week orienteering.

Berkshire Orienteers, in conjunction with Southern Navigators and the British Army Orienteering Club, is organising the British Schools Championships weekend on 15th/16th November 2008, the Championship being held at Hawley and Hornley Commons.
