SOC’s premier event, The November Classic, will be held this year on Sunday 6th November in The New Forest.

We are grateful to Colin Hicks and Kevin Bracher for stepping forward with their valued experience to Organise and Plan this National Standard event  and, to provide them with support, we are looking for an Assistant Organiser and an Assistant Planner to work alongside Colin and Kevin. In addition to providing support this would also be an excellent opportunity to acquire the skills necessary for officiating at future SOC events.

Heads up on a couple of events:

Saturday 5th February. WSX are holding a Level D event at Studland Dunes. Entries are limited to 100 and they are giving local clubs priority. So enter now to secure your place. Link to flier below.

Saturday 26th March. At the other end of the scale - Level A - the British Orienteering Championships are near Liphook. This is the date of the individual races - the relays are the next day. Not cheap, and prices increase from Sunday week, so again you may want to enter now.

Both are taking entries via Fabian4.

An opportunity for those used to orienteering in the daytime to add a new dimension to their experience! You will need a head torch and a backup light source - just in case of a failure.

This is a score event - visit as many controls as possible in 1 hour.

Entries are open for this WNL event and SOC helpers will get a half price run.
