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.
