Congratulation to Will Gardner M20 who has been selected to run for Great Britain in the Junior European Cup to be held in Le Bessat, France from 3 – 7 October. Will was selected as a result of great performances at the Scottish Six Days championships held two weeks ago.

After 5 events the club have now moved to the top of the West Midlands Orienteering League. They have 4588 points with Wrekin scoring 4525 and Harlequins in 3rd position with 4163 points.

The next league match is on Sunday 22 September at Chasewater Country Park, near Cannock, and will be organised by Walton Chasers Orienteering Club.

The sun shone and made for a very pleasant evening for a run around the Burton Dassett Hills. The long grass made running, even downhill, a little harder. Organiser Bob Brandon thanked Sue Hallett and Suzanne Humphries for handling the administration and Daniel Roth, Anne Straube and family who then all collected in the controls.
