Last Call for JK and British Relays

By Sam Massey , 25 February, 2010

If theres anyone that still wishes to enter the relays for either the JK or British Championships. Please check the following

article and get in touch with Jane asap:

Its anticipated that the club contributes 50% of the relay entry fee, its also a rare opportunity to orienteer as part of team. The JK event is on the same terrain (Braunton Burrows) as the Sunday Classic event, so you'll be able to rectify all those mistakes on the classic sand dune area.
