Its fun for all the family and we are teaming up with the Beat the Street game running across Reading West through October.

BKO had a full on weekend - responsible for planning and organising the British Long orienteering championships on Saturday (see report in Newsletters), as well as competing in the Long race and on the following day in the relay champs at Hambleden. Well done to the whole team, but particularly to Jane and Fiona for organising the Long champs and Mark and Simon for planning the courses over many months.

Keen BKO team members at the Compass Sport competition final near Stirling on Sunday 16^th October. BKO went to the final through from the heat that we hosted at Rushall Woods in March. The Trophy is the competition for smaller orienteering clubs (<120 members) and the larger clubs compete for the Cup at the same event. 15 Trophy clubs joined the final, making a high quality competition. In the Trophy, the team score is the sum of the top 13 scores from the club, not allowing more than 2 scorers on each course.
