Berkshire Orienteers (BKO) invites you to an orienteering event in the lovely Bloom Wood forest, near Marlow on Sunday the 21st of May 2023. This is a combined event for Yvette Baker Trophy qualifying & SCOA Regional League Event (SCOL8).
The Yvette Baker Trophy and Shield are the premier Junior Inter-Club competitions for English and Welsh orienteering clubs. This event is a qualifier with the final held on July 5th near Sheffield.
