CMOC coaching day Thursday 22nd December on Waiuku farmland

The club is holding a coaching day for students Year 4 to 16, and parents on Thursday 22 December on farmland at Taurangaruru, near Waiuku. There will be three sessions from 10 am until 2 pm.

This coaching day is to give students and their families confidence when orienteering on farm land, and to improve their skills of contour reading and relocation in advance of 2023. Families who have taken part in the Summer Series and school events are particularly welcome, as this event will aid in transitioning the skills you have learnt into a slightly different environment. We invite and welcome parents to join with the students/groups when they are being coached so that they can observe, be a part of the experience and enjoy a walk. This is not compulsory.

There is no cost for attending this coaching.

Full details can be found here. In this document there is an application form to fill in so we know how many are coming and their level of skill so that we can plan. This form needs to be returned to Val Robinson (details with the form) by 19 December.
