Summer Series starts 7th May  (Posted 28/04)  
What could be a better way to spend a Wednesday evening than out and about in a wood near you? Getting a bit of exercise (or a lot if you choose to) enjoying the fresh air plus using the old grey cells to to find your way around with a special map (or just concentrate on chatting if you choose to!)

Sound like your idea of a Wednesday pm well spent? Then come along to our Summer Series events and find out what orienteering's all about. From 3 to 83, family groups to elite athletes, anyone and everyone can take part.

We kick off with a free introductory session on Wednesday 7th May at Tyrebagger Woods at 6:30pm (1.5 miles west of airport roundabout on A96, look for red and white signs pointing left) . All you'll need is a pair of trainers/ walking boots and a waterproof just in case. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Any questions? Click
here for some more info or just contact us or phone 01224 323855.

Youth group leaders - we'd love to have you along but can you give us advance warning please so we can print enough maps to cater for your group? summer@grampoc.com

BOC 2008   (Posted 21/04) 
Congratulations to the GRAMP BOC Champs Sasha Chepelin (M12A) & John Reeve (M40S) and Tim G, Katrina McLeod, Anne Hoy and Dave Armitage who all had near misses but still won a place on the podium.

But who got a frontpage mention on the BOC website for Being Prepared? My unsung hero of the day for BOC 2008 is Margaret Aust's O-top selflessly donated as a makeshift sling.
Let's hear it for the O-top!

Get yourself over to Bennachie once a month for the Bennachie/FCS Saturday Events for a bit more practice.

CIRCUIT TRAINING ON MONDAYS
As the light nights arrive, the weekly training sessions move from indoor to outdoors.  As of Monday 5th May,  Anna will lead an hour long session involving a warm up & interval sessions, finishing with a run back to the car park (choose your own distance and pace) and warm-down.  Meet at Foggieton (FC car park at NJ 870 181) ready for a 7:30pm start.  
NB This is a change from our usual venue at Countesswells woods as these are closed due to Forestry operations, however we may return there in the future.
