❓What Next❓
This week the WEE returns to Barnett’s Demesne and on Saturday it will be worth the trip up the road to Portrush for the second instalment of the NI Urban League which North West Orienteering Club are hosting. The online registration for both these events is closed but if you missed the deadline and are interested in going, contact the organiser to let them know your interest and they will do their best to fit you in. Note, there will be a £2 adult surcharge to cover the additional admin requirements and printing.
👀 Looking slightly further ahead, the info on the June WEEs is now available on the fixtures page and online SiEntry for these 4 events has been opened today!
💡Here’s a bright idea – To save you having to enter every week and possibly forget, you can enter all the WEEs you wish to attend in one go! There are a couple of firm favourites in there and a completely new experience for us all in the Academy grounds, Ballymena.
🏕 Also in June (Fri 24-Sun 26) is our Club weekend at Tollymore – Super excited about this too. Runs at Dundrum, Castlewellan Forest and Tollymore Forest, further details will follow soon but pencil this in now!
