“It was the first event in our four stage Manx Mini Series aimed at people new to orienteering. Manx Mini Series is organised for Thursday evenings around the island using one of the dozen permanent orienteering courses installed by the club with the help of DEFA. DEFA, the Department for Environment, Food and Agriculture on the Isle of Man, is a key supporter of orienteering development on the island.

The free order mass start event took place in the Garey ny Cloie Gardens and Wood at the DEFA Headquarters with the participation of over twenty families and individuals with an age range from 8 to 65. Instruction was provided for newcomers. Everybody found all the controls with results between 25 and 57 minutes.”
