During October half term this year, Deeside Orienteers offered two MapRun courses in line with the Find Your Way Project at Castle Park in Frodsham. Chairman of the club, John Padget tells us more about how they went about publicising and hosting the events.
The morning was wet but the afternoon dry. As a result, there were fewer families in the park than is normal for school holidays. All the attendees came because of some sort of advance publicity (see below).
We had nine families (with a total of 23 children) who all said they enjoyed the event.
One parent was a school teacher – and a discussion took place about the DEE Schools League.
One parent was a scout leader – prompting a discussion about how MapRun could help the scout group and how to get a simple map.
How we promoted the event:
Facebook postings
Notice board in the local sports centre
Via the school
DEEside website
Publicity at local Urban Event
Personal contact (BICC running Club)
