Repeat of training day that Royal Signals Regiment held here in Spring 2014. Aimed at experienced orienteers although morning activities are suitable for those with some experience.

Devon O Training Day
Saturday 12th July
News: Training Day Cancelled (as of 7th July)
Unfortunately the training day scheduled for next Saturday (12th July) has had to be cancelled. With a week to go numbers were very low but in addition SWW have commenced forestry operations this week in the woods alongside the bridge which would have restricted the areas available to us. We hope to get a replacement session in place early in the Autumn.

12th April Training Final Details
Following the success of the last day at Virtuous Lady the clubs' next offering is a"training" day at Holne Moor. I say training as the plan is to set out a series of controls / courses which will give you the option of joining in more structured coaching sessions or simply head out to put your skills and knowledge to the test. A range of sessions to cover all abilities including our most experienced runners. A brown only map in the Ringleshutes mine area will make anyone think!
First Aid Course
1st February 2014
The Club has a First Aid course planned for the 1st February 2014. The course will give you a Level 2 First Aid qualification valid for 3 years.
