Colour Skills Badges
Our first colour skills badges were awarded at Stony Hazel in March and are available for all club members especially juniors to record all the new skills they are learning. The colours match the colour courses which are on offer at events. Badges are awarded for skills, not competitive performance. Pick up your card at an event or download a copy from the newcomers page and tick off the skills as you learn them. We hope to have a prizegiving after one of the summer series events- watch this space- but you can claim your badge from Claire at any LOC event if you can’t wait!
