PLEASE NOTE

**We run a local informal event every month, on a Saturday. These events are an ideal way for newcomers to try orienteering in a safe environment.

**Coaching will be available at all our events, including informals, for all abilities. The coaching is FREE. If you would like individual orienteering coaching, please contact Kay Sayer, k.sayer@ntlworld.com

The forthcoming events list is compiled from British Orienteering and other clubs' websites. For further details of events, see your copy of SINS or log on to the BRITISH ORIENTEERING website or the relevant Club's website. Please check before setting out, as some events have been known to change at short notice. If you would like to share transport, contact a committee member who will put you in touch with someone who can help, or send a message through the Wessex Yahoo group.



If you are going on holiday/visiting friends/weekend away in another district and want to know what orienteering there is where you are going, log onto the website of British Orienteering, www.britishorienteering.org.uk and follow the link to Clubs.  And of course for further details of any of the events listed here, go to the British Orienteering website.  Or, if you don’t have access to the web, contact a Committee member who will be happy to help.

WEDNESDAY ARMY ORIENTEERING EVENTS. 

BAOC organise orienteering events most Wednesdays for the Army and civilians are welcome to attend as well.  To find out more about these events, go to their website:  www.baoc.org.uk

CAR SHARING TO EVENTS

As the price of fuel is rising by the day, it makes sense for all of us to share transport to events whenever possible.  So if you are planning to go to any of the forthcoming events, please let others know via the yahoo group (if you are on it).  If you are NOT on the Yahoo group, get in touch with Ian Middlebrook at themiddlebrooks@tiscali.co.uk who will give you details of how to join.  Joining this group does not mean you will be inundated with unwanted emails, but you will be kept informed of what is happening in YOUR club and any updates which you might need to know about.

Once you are registered, you just need to email the Yahoo group and everyone on the group will receive this email, so it is then easy for people to contact each other to arrange sharing lifts to events.

PLEASE NOTE  We run a local informal every month, on a Saturday.  These are designed to help newer members and improvers to hone their orienteering skills.  THESE EVENTS WILL BE FREE. 

Coaching will be available at all our Informal events for all abilities.  The coaching is also FREE.

For further details of events, see your copy of SINS or log on to the SWOA website or the relevant Club’s website (links through BO).  Please check before setting out, as some events have been known to change at short notice.  If you would like to share transport, contact a committee member who will put you in touch with someone who can help.
