This week Orienteering training is on at Belleisle Park, Ayr at 6pm.

Orienteering training is on tonight at The Kay Park in Kilmarnock at 6pm.

Well done to everyone who managed to come along to Fullarton Woods last night.  It was lovely to see you.

It would be great to see a few more faces, particularly in Primary 4 and 5.  Gargieston has traditionally had a very good representation and it would be fantastic to see this continue.

The next evening session is on Thursday 25th April at The Kay Park Kilmarnock.   Starting at 6pm.

It would be really good if  Primary 4 and 5 pupils had a partner they could run with, at the competition they are only allowed to run in pairs not trios.

I am aware that there is a clash of dates with orienteering and various events.  If the children could attend as many of the sessions as they able, as being in Primary 7 they have 3 years experience of the courses.  Practise is still very important to help them achieve success in the competitions.

Thank you.

Don’t forget that the first evening session is tonight at Fullarton Woods in Troon at 6pm, costing £2 per child.  This is for Primary 4 – 7 children only.

Orienteering evening training begins this week.  The first session is at Fullarton  Woods in Troon and starts at 6pm.  The cost is £2 per child.  It is recommended that the children run in pairs.   Please try to attend as many of the sessions as possible, at least 3, as the children need the map skills learned on these evenings to help them in the competition.

I will try to attend some of these events too.

Primary 4 – 7 Orienteering

These are the dates for the evening trainings for orienteering.  We ask that your child attends at least 3 of them.  It is essential as they need to be able to read a map and follow a course.  An adult is able to accompany them during these session.   Please note that it cost £2 per child, not per pair.
