British Orienteering and WOC2015 are looking at the potential for a ‘Find Your Way To Orienteering’ legacy project and are asking clubs if they would be interested in being involved. The project would involve clubs hosting 4-6 weeks of introductory sessions starting between 17th August and 6th September aimed at introducing people to the sport.
British Orienteering and WOC2015 will provide specific session plans and clear guidance, though of course clubs will be at liberty to adjust these to suit their own circumstances. We recommend that you charge an appropriate fee for these sessions, which should include the full membership fee for club/region/British Orienteering. Sessions might be for juniors, adults or both; they might be in towns, parks or forests – or indeed a mixture. The sessions should be focused around an appropriate population centre and be no more than 20 minutes travel time from that centre. Ideally these sessions should be run by qualified coaches however experienced orienteers with a friendly manner will be able to deliver fun and engaging sessions with the resources supplied.
