“Pats on the back” this week go to the pupils of Walton High School and Oakridge Primary School for winning the team prizes in the West Midland Schools Championships last Saturday. Well done all of you.
Other “Pats” are numerous after the event at Mansty Wood last Sunday so I will stick to the juniors, sorry “oldies”. On the White Course Olivia and Fraser Stamp came 3rd while on the Yellow course Rebecca Hind came 4th closely followed, again, by brother Rory in 7th and Adam and Joshua Brown in 8th and 9th places. On the Orange Course George Howell ran into 3rd place while after a great run Joe Holland WON the Light Green under a new spelling of his name, with newcomer Amy Ward finishing 8th. On the Green course Adam Mardling ran into a fantastic 7th position beating many good orienteers in the process.
Events next week are thin on the ground. There are midweek Level D events from OD, WRE and LEI while next Saturday POTOC have an event at Festival Park, Stoke. Details of all POTOC events at:
