On Saturday the sun again shone for the Try Orienteering taster sessions at Balgay Park in Dundee. Families were introduced to orienteering skills using games and activities before venturing out on some courses. We hope to welcome these families to try orienteering at local events in the coming weeks.
This weekend will also be busy with further taster sessions happening in Aberdeen, Aboyne, Inverness and East Lothian. Great to see so many people trying orienteering for the 1st time.

Two opportunities to chat orienteering - let's not pretend we don't like discussing orienteering or have a view! Why not join us and swap experiences with others interested in the sport?

Community Conversation - 9th September 7pm - Permanent Orienteering Courses – case studies and how we ensure they reach the audience. Come swap your experiences or find out others to implement in your area.

Club Networking Day - what's that you say? Call it idea swapping, a discussion opportunity or anything similar but essentially it is a chance for members from different clubs to come together and talk to each other and the SOA Board/ team about topical issues within the sport. Everyone is welcome.
This year following feedback we are trialling two days - one in the north and one in the south.
South - Saturday 12th September in Dunblane (Braeport Centre)
North - Saturday 19th September in Boat of Garten (Community Hall)

Find out more on the website (link in the bio) where you will find a sign up form to let us get catering organised or the sign up link is in the comments below.
