If any members would like to buy their own card, we may be able to get a big enough order together to get a discount.

The club is planning to buy V3 cards (with display), available for £40.  These have been used at one event and are ex-hire.

New V2 cards are also available - list price is also £40.

If you are interested let me know on enquiries [at] southampton-orienteers.org.uk (enquiries[at]southampton-orienteers[dot]org[dot]uk) and I will coordinate with the committee.

If you want to meet up for a beer and chat about anything to do with orienteering, see you at the Southwestern St. Denys at around 20:00 on thursday 24th March.

Bring your courses from last week and any other things you would like to chat about!
