Month: January 2020

The SOA Board of Directors would like to welcome all members to attend our AGM which will take place on Saturday 6th June as part of STAG‘s Giant Weekend in Glasgow.

My name is Denise Martin and as the Volunteering Officer for Scottish Orienteering I’d like to thank all our coaches and volunteers for the great work you do for the sport in Scotland!

sportscotland wants to better understand the contribution it makes to building an Active Scotland, so take 5 minutes to complete the annual sportscotland Club Survey and your club will be entered into the draw to win £1000. This survey is open to ALL club members.

This year’s Scottish Orienteering Championships will take place at Tentsmuir – north of St. Andrews – on the weekend of 22^nd-23^rd August 2020.

A New Year has dawned, a new decade is afoot so why not give the gift of volunteering as one of your resolutions in 2020? We recognise the considerable time and energies that many of you give to your clubs and at events throughout the year – we are truly grateful to all those who make our sport happen on a weekly basis. However we at Scottish Orienteering NEED your input too.

Some of the work the SOA staff have been working on ‘behind the scenes’ is our compliance as a Governing Body with the Equality Standard. This sits firmly with our commitment to ensuring our sport is welcoming and inclusive to all who wish to participate.

It has been great to see so many smiling faces at New Year events that have already taken place up and down the country. We want to wish all our members an active and fun year as we look ahead into 2020.
