Thanks to CorkO

A huge thanks to Cork Orienteering Club, they have generously donated the proceeds of the Kilworth event in December to the Irish Junior Squad. This added to the Cake Sale proceeds to bring the total to €500. This donation is very much appreciated by the Junior Squad and will be put to good use in 2018.
