This Weeks Events
As our seasoned orienteers set off across Europe and beyond for their summer orienteering adventures Bishopstown Orienteering Club are holding the fort in Munster with a family Day in Ballincollig.
Summer league fun continues in both Cork and Dublin with new GEN planner Cliodhna, recently returned from her EYOC trip, planning a come and try it on the new Kilbogget map. It’s great to see our younger members volunteering in their clubs. There is so much to be learned from planning an event.
Don’t forget to share your pictures on instagram, facebook and twitter, spread the sport ‘orienteering’ into the wider community. It has so much to give at every level and every age.
If you have an orienteering story to tell, don’t forget to email comms@orienteering.ie and share the #LoveO
