IntrO is back!

After a blank date at Spring Cup 2 (I was deep in preparation for ITOC and was also event controller that day) IntrO is back at Donard with a 6 kite, 6 decision TempO cluster counting towards the club TempO Champs.  The viewpoint is on the track leading to the FootO start so you’ve no excuse to bypass it without having a go and don’t forget that it’s free to enter. A couple of things to note.  The individual maps will all be orientated in the same direction (centre of the cluster) and the map will be drawn to ISOM.  Read More …

Our next training is on the 31 May at Botanic and QUB. Get it in the diary now.
