YBT FINAL - 7TH JULYCalling all Juniors

The YBT Final is the biggest junior event of the year and the culmination of the season. It’s always a fantastic day out with guaranteed sunshine, ice cream and probably some orienteering! 😉

We need to take as large a squad as possible. The more juniors we have running, the more we push down the scores of other teams and the better we will do. It would be fantastic if all our juniors could make it and represent the club. EVERYONE’S run is valuable!

#tweeters wanted to help publicise our club

Are you a regular tweeter who comes along to many of our events? We need your help to raise our profile. We have a small team of people who do a great job of publicising events through the website and social media, but we think we could do better and need some extra help with our twitter feed. Please contact Anna Chapman if you can help us.
