The West Midlands Junior Squad is holding an open training session for interested juniors on Sunday 22nd October at Hartshill Hayes Country Park, near Nuneaton. Juniors who are not currently a member of the squad are welcome to attend and benefit from the training on offer- you need to be a second year M/W12 or older, and be able to confidently and independently complete an Orange course (or above). The day will include several exercises to develop various aspects of orienteering technique, and finish with a fun race. Contact wmjsquad@gmail.com to find out more.

The squad holds regular training sessions and has its own website.

In September every member of the squad took part in the Junior Inter-regional Championships and in August ten members joined some of the Welsh squad on tour in Finland.
