Park-O: What’s next? Come to our Ampthill event!

WAOC have been delighted that so many novices have enjoyed our Park-O events over the last few years. After running nearly 40 Park-O events, this season we will be taking a break from Park-O and instead we will focus on helping novices with informal family-focussed coaching sessions at our colour-coded events which generally take place in larger parks or forests.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
