East Anglian Orienteering Association

Welcome

We are pleased to welcome all the Junior Orienteers and their coaches, leaders and helpers to the Peter Palmer Junior Team Relay at Stowe. Whichever leg that you are running, I hope that you enjoy your course and the experience of the Junior Team Relay.

Stowe has a recent history of successful junior events as the 2021 British Schools Orienteering Championships were held here.

The Event Centre and accommodation will be at Akeley Wood Senior School, Bycell Road, Buckingham MK18 5AE.

Saturday evening - Food

We are hoping to invite a Fish & Chip van to attend Akeley Wood School between 6.30-8.30pm on the Saturday evening. In order to confirm this the organiser needs to be confident of sufficient customers. If your team would like buy dinner from the van please can you email Freya (fixtures@smoc.info) to let her know.
