Congratulations to our team of Juniors who competed in the Peter Palmer Relay Competition recently, winning the Norfolk Trophy for smaller orienteering clubs and achieving 8th place overall.The event took place in a foggy Sutton Park, near Birmingham, on 10th/11th September. The relay had 6 legs altogether; the teams arrived and spent the night sleeping (or not!) in a sports hall, ready to start at 5am the following morning - all great fun! Our thanks to our volunteers who accompanied them.
