West Midlands Orienteering Association Schools Champs 2023

The WMOA Schools Champs took place on 13/5/23 at New Hall Valley Country Park Sutton Coldfield. The event was organised by the City of Birmingham Orienteering Club.

Children from 3 Primary, 12 Secondary Schools and a few home-schooled children took part.

Dave Ellis planned 7 interesting courses for the 10 age classes from Y5 to Y11+ and Adrian Bailey was the Controller of the event.

The Primary School Trophy was won this year by New Hall Primary School in Sutton Coldfield and the Secondary School Trophy was won by Discovery Academy.

The top 3 runners in each class were awarded medals and all participants received a certificate of attendance.

Many thanks to everyone who took part and helped organise a very successful and enjoyable event.
