Every week we will have a training session or orienteering event scheduled to occur at one of our local parks. </p><p>These weekly training sessions will take place in a variety of locations throughout the Victoria area and will include a mix of practical training exercises along with some fun orienteering events. Sorry - no newcomers or beginners please. This series is open only to those who have already participated at a few of our past orienteering events and are an active member of the Victoria Orienteering Club.</p><p><strong>Interested?</strong><br></p><p>Register now by emailing <a href="mailto:victoria.orienteering@shaw.ca">victoria.orienteering@shaw.ca</a>. Please include all names of your family or friend group who wish to participate. We have had a lot of participation by families with younger children this year. Hopefully, we can create a series that is inclusive to these age groups so please include ages as well so we can make sure to design courses that will appeal to all ages and experience levels.</p><p><strong>Please respond by 30 June. We hope to organize our first WET on 8 July. </strong><br></p><p><img src="https://data.whyjustrun.ca/files/2/6/e6lcoobnYKgvmSDVL5SC0Q.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="166" style="width: 249px; height: 166px;"> Take the next step in improving your orienteering! Learn and have fun!.</p><p>By emailing <a href="mailto:victoria.orienteering@shaw.ca">victoria.orienteering@shaw.ca</a> you will be on our mailing list. Please also include how long you have been with the club, your goals for learning and if you have participated in a previous WET series in the last few years. We will then add you to our email list that will provide all the details for each of our weekly sessions.</p><p><strong>The best part! </strong>Participation in the WET series is Free! However, in exchange for no cost, we do need your help to make the series a success by asking everyone to take one small part in organizing at least one of the training events and activities.</p><p><strong>Previously participated in the WET series? </strong>We hope you will be able to take the lead in organizing one of the weekly events. A senior club member will still be there to provide guidance, resources and equipment.</p><p><strong>First time trying out our WET series? </strong>No worries. We will not throw you into the deep end. Just come out, improve your orienteering, have fun hanging out with all the other keen club members and sign up as a helper for just one of the events so that you can also contribute to making this series a success.</p><p><strong>Social </strong>- whenever possible, we would like to add in a social component after our WETs. So expect an invitation or two to meet up in a pub afterwards where, of course, we get to look at maps and talk about orienteering!</p><p>We look forward to an awesome summer of orienteering!</p> 6224
