Type of event: Training, Juniors
This week's planner Sheila Braine has worked hard to fully utilise this small area for her courses.
There's a get together with food and games afterwards- details here.
Note if bad weather forces us to cancel the JOG event, the get together will still go ahead.
Our Junior Orienteering Group (JOG) runs during term-times holding low-key weekly events aimed at juniors, families and all those looking to improve or to train.
If you'd like to help another improve, or would like more help yourself, then why not buddy up? Read more about our buddying scheme and fill in the questionairre to help us identify your needs.

Kingston Road is narrow and very dangerous so please cross very carefully.
All children must be accompanied from the car park to and from the Spinney.
The Spinney is on the south side of the Grange. We will put a JOG flag at the entrance.
Cater from beginners through to a good club standard. We call the courses Hare, Squirrel, Badger and Fox and these offer a clear progression in the difficulty level. Fox course incorporates adult training exercises.
£1 per head for everyone (whether a member or not).
Second runs are an additional £1.
Registration form- please download & fill in before you arrive:
Non-members, you are more than welcome to join the club at any time - read about joining QO here.
Courses open at 2pm and close at 3pm. Please try to arrive before 2.30pm for your run. We will start bringing controls in at 3.30pm so if you are still out, please make your way back to registration.
Open and woodland areas with an ornamental garden. There is a path network throughout.
The Woodland Trust guide to the Spinney says:
The Spinney is popular with the local people, with a path network throughout. An ornamental garden planted in the 1800s retains an arboretum feel in the centre of the native woodland. An old mill and a wildlife corridor provide additional interest.
Afterwards, our planner Sheila Braine has arranged for us to use the Village Hall for a get together.
You need to book in advance for this, please.
