The preliminary fixture list is out for 2010 and must be discussed at the next NIOA Meeting.

Members agreed that Ferm O should plump for 3 Sunday NI Colours because Ferm O members seem to favour orienteering on a Sunday. If however this is not forthcoming we should attempt a multi- day event in 2010 and a series of local events.
