Christmas Challenge 2022
We are again putting on a Christmas Challenge making words and using the MapRun App to register your presence at the controls in Beacon Wood.
The challenge has been devised by Colin and Rosie Merry and can be done as many times as you like between 20 December and 8 January.
Let's see if we can have more completed runs than there were in last year's Challenge, so that's quite a target to beat.
Club Championships 2022
28 members of Dartford Orienteers took part in the Club Championships on Sunday 2 October at Shorne Country Park.
The weather was forecast to be rainy all day, but Andrew Evans, the planner and organiser of the Regional event, managed to get a clear sky instead.
AGM 2022Wednesday 12th October 2022 at 7.30pm.
We are returning to The Malt Shovel in Dartford, 3 Darenth Road, DA1 1LP.
The meeting will be conducted to fit around the arrival of dinner. This year it will be a hot and cold buffet, not a sit down service. The price is to be confirmed (prior to the AGM) but will be £15 to £20 possibly depending on selection of a pudding.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you will be attending to secretary@dfok.co.uk . We have a seating limit of 24 in total.
