Orienteering – Wednesday 23rd May

Please note the change of time and venue.

On Wednesday the Cubs will be orienteering at Rickerby Park as part of an event organised by Border Liners Orienteering Club.  As a result there are some changes to our normal schedule:

All the Cubs should meet at the Scout Hut at 6.00pm prompt on Wednesday.  They will need to wear suitable clothes for running along with their necker for identification purposes.  From here we need to walk to the Suspension Bridge for 6.20pm so that we can get started.

All the Cubs will run in pairs to complete the course. 

Once we have finished, the Cubs will return to the Scout Hut to be collected at normal time.

I would be grateful if everyone could make sure that all their friends are aware of the change of time and meeting place.
