Are you willing to take the challenge of defining, planning and implementing a Path programme for 50 Rovers during Roverway 2018 in the Netherlands?

We are looking for 10 teams to deliver 10 “Centenary” Routes next summer in the Netherlands! This is a new opportunity which arose as a result of Roverway planning (hence the short deadline) but we are sure that there is enough experience, interest and excitement in Europe to provide 10 unforgettable set of experiences to 500 Rovers next year in the Netherlands!

Note the short deadline for this call and make sure to signal your interest by 15 January 2018!
