Another important first for MDOC!
Please take a moment to read the two interviews from our impressive junior reps - Dominic and Catriona. Once you have read them I am sure that you will agree with me that these two determined young people have an exciting future in Orienteering in front of them.

MDOC members launch dedicated virtual orienteering website
A range of virtual orienteering courses in and around south Manchester are now available via a dedicated website thanks to the efforts of MDOC members Ian Watson, Peter Ross and Doug Edwards during lockdown. The courses use the latest version of the MapRun smartphone app that was trialled at last season's night street league, MapRunF.
Challenges include finding as many postboxes in your area as you can in an hour and navigating the streets of Altrincham on a map drawn 120 years ago.
