Orienteering this Sunday, 16th December 2007, at Penpole, Bristol

Bristol Orienteering Klub's annual Christmas Novelty Event takes place this Sunday, 16th December at Penpole, Bristol.

Organiser Katy Dyer writes: "This is a fun event with choices of courses to suit all abilities from the beginner wanting something simple and on the flat, to a really fit runner needing the challenge of plenty of distance and climb. On each course there will be draw prizes of tickets to Bristol Zoo. There are also chocolate and froggy prizes for the juniors.  Finally there is the free opportunity to name a large frog and the frog goes to the lucky winner of the draw."

You don't have to be a member of a club in order to take part - new faces are always welcome.

Queries about the event should be directed to Katy Dyer (contact details on the Event Details webpage).
