Club Night - Thursday 10th September

Howe Park Wood - MapRunF App (or paper-based alternative!)

Our next club night will be an opportunity to try out the MapRunF app which allows you to use your mobile phone to visit "virtual" controls. A score course has been planned and the map is visible on the app. Using GPS technology your phone will know when you reach the location of the controls. For those who don't want to use their phone there will be paper maps and street-O style questions. If you would like to take part and for more details email Freya.

Please let me know if you would like to come in advance.

I will be at the Howe Park Wood cafe from 5.30pm on Thursday. (Location MK4 3GG)

Club Trophies

If you currently have a club trophy could you please arrange to return it to Freya at either the Campbell Park event or at club night.

Sunday 13th September – SMOC members-only event at Campbell Park
There is still time to enter our first local event since oh, forever. It's a closed event, free of charge to our members, with a choice of two courses. It will follow British Orienteering guidelines, which means you must pre-enter to take part. Find all the details of how to enter on our website.

Volunteers needed for Stowe regional event

Sunday 25th October, National Trust Stowe
It is now less than two months to go until our first regional level event under the new Covid requirements. While numbers will be restricted and no entry on the day is permitted, we anticipate that we will need more marshals than normal to ensure the event is safe. Please email Rob if you are willing and able to help on the day.

We are also looking for anyone who would be willing to help put out or collect controls - please email Debbie if you can help with this.
