Orienteering Saturday

For NCC Land Part Bs,

Your Orienteering Badge Test will take place this Saturday (30/08/08) at Pasir Ris Park. Meet at Pasir Ris MRT - White Sands - by 8.50am . We will then walk to Pasir Ris Park and conduct the badge test. The faster you run, the faster the dismissal. The tentative dismissal time is around 10.45 to 11am.

Attire - pt kit with green socks.
Bring along your water bottles and a pen each.

Those who cannot make it, please inform Surya earlier. This is compulsory for all part B's.

...and yes IMT is still tomorrow. Too bad for us.

Orienteering

To NCC doofuses.

I'm not really sure about this, but it seems that the orienteering run thing has been postponed till Saturday. Don't know whether this is true yet, but anyway since we have the Maths/English test thing on Thursday, there wouldn't be any orienteering run at Pasir Ris Park on Thursday.

By the way, you would *most likely* recieve an orienteering badge if you manage to pass the orienteering test.

At least that is for those classes taking the test on Thursday. And IMT shoot is on Friday. Teacher's Day, so unlucky for us. Not as if most of us would be able to get a marksman...apart from some people.

Like, duh.
