Events for 2008
Here's the list of GRAMP and MAROC events in and around
Aberdeen and Deeside for 2008. Full details for each event will be posted nearer
the time under EVENTS IN THE NEAR FUTURE on the coloured bar to the right (or if
it's a Maroc event you'll be routed to their website.)
Don't forget that MOR, BASOC and INVOC will also be putting on events a little further
afield if you fancy making a day or a weekend of it - check Score/Telegramp/SOA
website for these.
Unless
indicated otherwise, all our events have courses suitable for families and
beginners and we try to have someone on hand to
explain what to do, how to read the map etc if you need help and advice to get
started.
We still have to finalise dates/locations for the Summer Series and a few other lower-key events so check again later on.

SESSIONS
Saturday sessions to help you improve
some of your O skills such as making sense of those squiggly brown lines.
More
details here.
Incidentally,
MAROC are running something similar on
Wednesday evenings from March 19th and I'm sure they wouldn't mind us joining
in.
BENNACHIE SATURDAY EVENTS
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.
