Welcome Nikki to the team!

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Nikki Howard to the SOA staff team as Events & Operations Manager. Nikki brings with her extensive experience in organising events for her club Moravian and also from being assistant day organiser on day 3 (Arisaig) of Scottish 6 Days last year. She will be taking on much of the work previously done by Colin Matheson who retired in 2021, including assisting clubs with access for events and working to evolve our partnerships with Forestry & Land Scotland and other organsations. As part of the operations component of the role, Nikki will work to support the ongoing development of our network of event planners, controllers and will work with clubs to coordinate the event calendar in future years.

We hope all clubs will join us in welcoming Nikki to the SOA staff team, with her legal background and orienteering specific experience we feel she will be a real attribute to the team. Nikki will be working 2 days a week for Scottish Orienteering and 2 days for the Scottish 6 Day Company.
