MAROC newsletter for 30th October 2018

Well done to the 24 Maroc juniors who helped the North Area retain the Inter Area title up in Moray last weekend (above left). Due to their youthful age profile North area were well behind West after the relays but rallied in the individual competition to win by a single point. More importantly everyone had a fun time and made lots of new friends over the weekend.

The DNC is underway again (above right). Get those head torches charged and come join in the fun!

MAROC ANNUAL GATHERING AND AGM
November 24th, 6PM to 9PM  
FINZEAN HALL
A quick reminder that it's time to get cooking and make a few culinary preparations for the MAROC Annual Celebration. We'll be in  FINZEAN hall, which is just as you enter Finzean from Strachan, gathering at 6pm for a prompt 6:30 start. SATURDAY 24th November.
 
The tried and trusted format is a brief AGM, presentation of prizes, medals and awards, then a pot luck supper and social evening.
The last few years have been marked with an exciting evening of games with the tug o'war between the children and parents being very competitive!! Eilidh and Kirsty Campbell are organising the games if you have any ideas for them!
This is a great opportunity to celebrate the community of our club and to celebrate the sucesses of the younger members. Often at events there is not the chance to chat to people properly especially if you are new and want to find out a bit more about the sport. For longstanding members there is also the chance to catch up with everyone you've not spoken with for a while.
 
All welcome - club members and family, kids, friends interested in orienteering, friends not interested in orienteering, neighbours interested in a pot luck supper, visiting relatives, mothers in law etc.
 
Sunday Training
We are planning to hold a couple of Sunday club training sessions before Christmas, as well as a fun Christmas special. These coached sessions are a great opportunity to hone your technical skills and will be suitable for all ages and abilities. Look out for more details being firmed up in the next week or two!
 
Dess POC Closed
Please note that the permanent orienteering course at Dess is currently closed due to ongoing forestry work. We hope to re-plan and re-launch it once work is completed in the autumn.
