Calling all Gramp Juniors!

Do you want to make your Gramp top the envy of everyone? Then learn to sew now! You can accessorize your top with a variety of colourful badges. No amount of money can buy these badges – they have to be earned by completing courses!


It is all part of the Junior Incentive (big word – meaning bribe) Scheme.
If you are interested, find out more by clicking here or ask Oonagh Grassie.

Morph and Chas @ Edinburgh Street Race

Morph introduced his mate, Chas, to orienteering during EUOC's Big Weekend City Race. Sasha was there again too and managed 2nd place this year but I bet he didn't have to worry about his plasticine arms snapping off with the cold! Ouch!

Well done to all our Juniors in this year's Jon Duncan Junior Deeside Cup whether you managed a top 3 or quietly improved your orienteering this year and put in some steady performances. The prize-giving took place at the Bennachie event inside the visitor centre. Click on the photos below to see more - a certain Gramp family and a tin of Quality Street seem to feature heavily!

It's true!
You may have heard rumours from Inver about a considerably lighter version of Marnoch whizzing round to win the Brown course by just 3 seconds. Lighter? He had a severe haircut and beard trim organised by his school in aid of a cancer charity. Maybe you'd like to support him by giving him a donation when you see him next? Except you may not recognise him any more of course!


 

 

 

 

Seeing double?
That's because we have two whizzy Scottish Sprint Champions in Grampian Juniors - well done Sasha M12 and Calum M14 2009 Sprint Champs.


What did Maya do to get her award?
Here's more information on awards schemes and what you have to do to earn one.
And here's a list showing which Gramp Juniors have gained or are working towards SOA Participation Awards and SOA Badge Awards.

GRAMP JUNIORS KIT
To make sure Gramp Juniors are the coolest looking bunch on the street (in the assembly field), you can now buy a rather trendy hoodie with the Gramp Junior Orienteers logo on (the bouncy castle one you see above left.)

Just like this one (in trendy black!). Just £8. Sizes available .... 5-6, 7-8, 9-11, 12-13, adults S, M, L, XL

Want one? (of course you do!) – Get in touch with Kate.

 

WEB STUFF
Know of any good videos, games or sites on the web? Drop us an email and we'll share it with the other GJOs.

Circle the Cat

For older juniors (and the odd senior that's sneaked in for a look!) Samarost - watch carefully for clues, keep moving your mouse over the pictures until you see a hand cursor and then click on things in the right order to help the wee mannie solve the problems to save his planet from a collision with a spacecraft.
