World Orienteering Championships 1999

Those of you who didn't go to Scotland in the summer and have not kept up with the news might not know that the British team did brilliantly in the Classic, Short and Relay races.

Congratulations must go to SYO members Jenny James, Dave Peel, Jamie Stevenson and Helen Hargreaves who were such a large part of the British squad. Well done.
