ISB 2023

Trip was a success overall despite the less than stellar weather/conditions.

Next year location is likely to be Torridon again though Ollie has volunteered to book accommodation for us which would make for easier organisation on our end s would only need to book Ollie and transport.

Evening Orienteering Sessions

Frequency of sessions dropping to once a fortnight as turnout is not consistently high enough to warrant weekly sessions. Moreover, with RS on placement/remote more direct workload for RR

BUCS is looking like £100 pp for tournament, currently only four people confirmed interest. Viability of running it is unclear.
