Celebrating Volunteers – Day 5 – Solway Orienteers

As we continue celebrating many of the volunteers who make orienteering great throughout Volunteers’ Week, today we’re highlighting volunteers from Solway Orienteers, so thank you to Stuart Graham and Dave McQuillen!

In addition Solway would like to make a special mention to the fantastic team who ran the Individual event on the day for the recent Scottish Championships.  Resources were stretched which meant all helpers on the
day had to deliver – and they did, showing that Solway is a small club with a BIG HEART!
