Orienteering this Wednesday Evening, 9th July 2008, at Kingswood School, Bath


The final event in Bristol Orienteering Klub's 2008 Summer Informals Series takes place this Wednesday evening, 9th July 2008, at Kingswood School, Bath.

The Summer Informals Series is intended to encourage beginners of all ages to take part in the exciting sport of orienteering.

Help and friendly advice will be available at each event. All you will need will be walking or jogging clothes - a compass is not even necessary for the easy courses, although you will be able to borrow one if you need.
