Photo-O
November 12th 2017 1:00pm - 3:30pm
Organizer: Chris Ling (Event Director)
Well done to all those brave souls that ventured out on a very wet Sunday afternoon Photo-O. Participants including both our youngest and our more seasoned orienteers.
No-one managed to make it round all the controls this year, although Ben came close - just a careless error costing him full marks. There was also some suspect 'guessing' from the VICO treasurer - hopefully not a reflection of the club accounts!
