6. Events happening!

Keep an eye out on the Moravian, INVOC, MAROC and GRAMP websites for information regarding events which are quite local to us.
The Scottish Orienteering calendar is another source of information, especially if you are travelling anywhere around the country or looking for an ‘orienteering fix’.
If you are looking for some events over the Festive holiday period, there is the first edition of the Christmas Cup.
It looks as if the Edinburgh Big Weekend will happen 21^st – 23^rd January 2022. This is always a good weekend of racing and catching up with people.
Jane Chisholm is doing the Grampian Mountain Challenge over the weekend of 6^th / 7^th November – would be great to get a report from this Jane!
