Back by popular demand...probably the toughest way to earn a chocolate bar.....but definitely the most satisfying.....its CHOC-O 2018.

You thought Clives courses were tough, Adrian Pickles is the new Willy Wonka for this year and he and his team of Oompa Loompas have been busy planting controls posts all over the Mynd with a mere 16kms for the longest course, there are also two shorter courses for the more sensible.. further details here

Congratulations to Di on winning the W50 class at the Welsh Champs held at Newborough on Anglesey on Sunday. Di tells me her mum was born in Betws y coed so qualifies under the "Ifor Powell precedent" (for those long term members)

There was another notable performance from Clive Richardson who (according to the BOF results) managed to finish 9th and 67th on Blue...was the 67th the practice run?

Successful Shropshire County Schools Games

Shropshire County Schools Games, July 3rd 2018
Wrekin maintained links with Energize Shropshire by staging the festival final for the primary school orienteering at the 2018 County Schools Games for them. Teams of 8 pupils had qualified to represent each of the six districts competing at the final,via the tier 2 district schools competitions held at various venues in Shropshire during the past few weeks.

Club coaches Tony and Andy,( with assistance from a group of Young Leaders from various Shropshire secondary schools) led the groups through some practice and site-familiarisation exercises before the exciting mass start main race.
​
This years winners in the closely contested 30 minute ‘score format’ final were from North Shropshire district. Very impressively they found all 20 controls in the time allowed, navigating quickly around Sundorne Leisure Centre and the adjacent community woodlands, despite the hot conditions.
 
All the competitors and assisting staff (and parents!) are very welcome to come along to any of the remaining Tuesday evening events for their next mini-adventure.

Teams scatter in all directions from the start flag.
