Compass Sport Cup - 18th Feb
Well done to everyone that competed in the Compass Sport Cup Heat in Gilling Woods. Overall we came 2nd in the Cup but still qualify for the Final because SYO automatically qualify having won the competition last year.
The final will be hosted by PFO on 20th October. Hopefully we can have another strong turnout!

Selections for Interland 2024
Congratulations to Bethan Buckley W14 and Jo Buckley W45 for being selected to run at Interland 2024 to be held in Belgium in March.
Interland is an international competition between Netherlands, Belgium Flemish, Belgium French, France Luxembourg and England that takes place annually involving all age classes between M/W14 -M/W60+. It involves the endurance to survive a long coach journey as well as orienteering fitness and skills. Bethan won the Green course at Hardcastle Crags on 04.02.2024 and so she is clearly in fine form at present.
Go girls – AIRE are rooting for you !!
