Family Fun O Session - Kendal Castle
It was a fabulous (but very hot) morning at Kendal Castle for the twelve families that joined us to play orienteering games, learn new skills and run around two short courses. Thanks to Heather Heppenstall for organising and for the LOC members who came along to help.

LOC 50th ANNIVERSARY PARTY...it finally happened, just 2 years late!
After almost 2 years of postponement after postponement, about 60 LOC members, present and former, got together to celebrate 50(2) years of Lakeland Orienteering Club on 1st July at Kendal Rugby Club. After an excellent dinner there was a ceilidh by Striding Edge and Iain Smith Ward gave an entertaining account of the club’s history and achievements over the years. It was great to see so many people there including so many ‘old’ members …….thanks to everyone for coming and making it a great evening.
