  • New Club Training Night at Whitlingham

    Starting this Tuesday 4th October, there will be a new training / jogging club evening on a Tuesday night, based at the easily accessible Whitlingham Ski Club in Norwich, which is located a couple of minutes from the Norwich by-pass near County Hall. The club has plenty of parking, shower facilities and a BAR. If you wish to run, just turn up at 7pm.  In the summer we will be able to use the Country Park for training and in the winter, the City is easily accessible. We may even put on some training targeted especially at Orienteering!!

    The run will be suitable for all and as long or short as is comfortable for each person – no pressure! People who want to just socialise can come along for a chat and drink around 8pm. It is a great opportunity to meet fellow orienteers in a social atmosphere and discuss future events and the latest disasters / fantastic feats.

    The Ski Club has kindly agreed to let us use their facilities for free at the moment, as long as we use the bar. We hope to see some of you there. If you have any questions please contact Kim Eden.
