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.
