Lisa James recently attended the Orienteering Foundation training day at Merthyr Mawr. You can find her report attached. There will be a similar session in the Forest of Dean in late November 2026, followed by a night event, and an event the following day. If you'd be interested in some shared SOC accommodation, please email chair [at] socweb.org (chair[at]socweb[dot]org) (no commitment at this time). Also, please let me know if you'd be interested in a similar event if it took place in our region.
