With thanks to the NHS for my physical recovery and to the Club Committee for the (much needed!) hardware and software replacements I am delighted to announce that LVO Map Printing Services is once again on the air BUT holiday plans means that it will have to be suspended between Tues 26th and Sun 30th June and Tues 15th and Sun 27th August, all dates inclusive. If any WEE planners want to make use of the services could you please also specify numbers of maps required? The absence of published results means that I am unable to gauge demand.

Wednesday 26th July – City of Lisburn For all those who haven’t evacuated the Country during July and are bored and missing their summer Orienteering, or even just want a little warm up before heading to Scotland; I have an extra fixture for you: A Club Night: A low key Urban Score event with a difference, around the Parks and Streets of Lisburn.

As this is the last WEE in June we thought we’d have a bit of fun this week. We’ve planned a maze! You can either have a go on your own or have a bit of competitive fun with a head to head race. If you’re a junior its your chance to get your own back on Steph;  or to beat your sibling, or even to show your parents who the better orienteer is. For those of us who should know better; can you hold your head above water against your peers, or can you put these pesky small fry back in Read More …
