Club News and Dates for your 2020 Orienteering Diaries
Post date: Jan 19, 2020 9:56:19 PM
Hope your new year has got off to a great start.
Here at CorkO we’ve been looking toward the year ahead and have identified some key dates for your 2020 orienteering diaries.
We all very much enjoy participating at orienteering races and we are always thrilled to see members sporting our club colours at national and international events. Many members are aware of the amount of voluntary work that clubs put into hosting these events with planning, organising and promotion.
Last year our club hosted over 20 events throughout the year and we plan to stage a similar number again this year. We would appeal to all our members to get involved and help out when they can. Remember it is the members who make up the club!
Here’s to another successful orienteering year!

CLUB GEAR ************************* We know our members take great pride in wearing our club colours at local, national and international events. Our new CorkO tops and jackets have proved so popular that our stocks are already depleted. To keep up with demand we are planning on placing another order with Bryzos in the coming weeks. So, if you would like to invest in one of our snazzy new CorkO-tops or a comfy club jacket so that you look smart where ever you orienteer then please let me know.
