On 10th November myself and Stephen are planning a training day for the all club members including those juniors at affiliated schools. This will follow on from a similar day we organised over the summer for a group of primary school children from CTK in Burnley.
This was done as part of our Orienteering Young Leaders Award completed as part of our Silver Duke of Edinburgh's award. The November training day is designed for adults and children and for all ranges of ability so that they can improve their skills and hopefully become better orienteers as a result of the day. The other aim of the day is for a social feel with members engaging over a packed lunch in the woods.
On offer on the day will be a total of 10 different courses, all aiming to challenge a different skill needed for orienteering from teamwork (somtimes useful when lost) to planning ahead of yourself and picking out the very minor details in the map.
We have been planning the day for the last month with several visits to the area and a few planning meetings in the comfort of our own homes (plus an e-mail conference)
Watch this space for a full report on the day.
