This summer
Where next?
Though we aren't putting on many events ourselves till September, there's still plenty of action in late spring and early summer, listed below. This includes events put on by neighbouring clubs and multi-day series further afield.
Yvette Baker Trophy (YBT)
National junior competition
Unfortunately, but possibly unsurprisingly given the distance involved, we weren't able to raise a full team to go to the final at Sandringham Estate, Norfolk in July 2019.

Permanent Orienteering Courses
Within the club's area
If you're a newcomer keen to improve, you’d like to keep your orienteering skills up to scratch or you're after a form of exercise that's both affordable and can be done at your own pace, why not head out to one of the Permanent Orienteering Courses available in the vicinity?
Beginners
Tips for improvement
Tips for all those who have reached the level of Orange (or Badger course at JOG) i.e.
- an adult beginner
- a junior improver
Some of those doing harder courses may often still need to master these techniques though.

Young Wood JOG
Review
Tom Hasler planned some interesting courses, the highlight being the Fox exercise using an Underground-style diagram for the map. Thanks to everyone who helped collect in controls, it was good to see so many children helping!
