| | + | === History of Orienteering Article === |
| | + | |
| | + | While scanning old copies of the LOC (Leinster Orienteering Clubs) Newsletter I noticed this article from September 1979. Aubrey Flegg writes about one of the first orienteering events ever held in Ireland (Devils Glen 1969). I particularly liked the use of H Williams supermarket bags as Control Kites !!! Have a read. |

| | + | a high degree of participant interaction expected. |
| | + | |
| | + | The subsidised cost of the course is E20 that includes the cost of lunch |
| | + | and light breakfast. It is being held at Bewleys Hotel, Newlands Cross, |
| | + | Dublin and will run from 9.30am to 5.00pm. To book a place you should |
