Apart from being quite a mouthful, the WAOC Midweek Summer Galoppens are a series of low-key orienteering themed events on Wednesday evenings. The event genre varies, being conventional orienteering, a score event, street orienteering, or something of the planner's own invention. There are normally a couple of different courses, long and short for example. No one takes them too seriously although there are prizes for the overall winner at the end of the series.
So, after a hard days work in the office, lab, or garden, why not enjoy the long balmy summer evenings by doing a bit of orienteering down the park. Starts will usually be from 6:00pm to 7:00pm, but you are advised to check this beforehand. There will be a small entry fee: £2 for adults, £1 for juniors. For more information about any of the events please contact the event organiser or the galoppen co-ordinator: Ben Holland ().
