In February we have West Midland League 3 at Nuneaton and the CompasSport Cup Knock-out round in the Wyre Forest to look forward to.
Thanks to everyone who has helped in any way over the last year. Orienteering only happens because we make it happen and in 2019 we have sustained our efforts as a club involving more people which is a good thing. The more the merrier as we continue to develop Shropshire Orienteering.
Wishing a Happy New Year to everyone
Adrian Pickles
