David Parkin 1933 - 2019
It is with sadness we announce the death of Dave on 3 February.
One of the club's earliest members, Dave soon became chairman and a long-serving one at that. His son Richard described orienteers as being his father's extended family.
MapRun
Virtual courses
MapRun doesn't need kites, control units or permanent course posts- just a smartphone app. And everyone's results and routes are available to view immediately after their run! We're holding a mini series in late February and March 2019, so why not get familiar with it before then?
