WAOC Club Nights

WAOC will be running club nights from Tuesday 7 September to Tuesday 7 December. ALL ARE VERY WELCOME, whatever their orienteering skills or running ability. Cost £1 per adult, 50p per junior or student, £2 per family. The evenings will involve a variety of activities aimed at improving fitness while honing orienteering skills.

The Club Nights will take place at the University Athletics Centre, Wilberforce Road, CB3 0EQ on most Tuesdays with some evenings held off-site. The centre boasts very impressive facilities and the surrounding area (streets, fields, University parkland etc.) should be good for O-training. The Centre is at the West end of Adams Road, which runs West from Grange Road ().

The plan for the Evenings is that people should arrive at 6:30pm for 6.45 start - there is ample car parking and changing - and that we finish by 8:30, probably with tea, coffee and biscuits.

For further information please contact and I will pass on your message.

There will always be a bad weather alternative. Third Tuesday of month in February onwards will be off site, ie not centred on the Athletics Centre
