Injuries? Do you stretch enough?
Strength and stretch training helps prevent injury and helps our body recover after injury.
Deyna Hirst is running a series of sessions on Wednesday mornings for orienteers on zoom. Read on for details of these sessions.
Family O Project update
Kath and Claire are now in post and beginning work on the Family 'O' Project.
During the coming weeks and months, we will be planning and promoting activities to introduce orienteering to family groups.
We aim to begin to deliver a programme of family-friendly sessions and events from early 2023. These will run alongside and dovetail with existing development opportunities within the club.

A few LOC members ventured north to participate in the Coasts and Islands event. Roger's comments...
"Weather good, orienteering interesting, personal performance disappointing" see why he might have made that that assessment.
