Jamie Stevenson Alternative
Recognising and celebrating our juniors!
Photo call , map challenge and more, with a focus on juniors.
- Send in photos/memories now
- Participate in a Map Challenge starting 7th June
- Attend a virtual Prize Giving 14th June
Normally around this time of year we focus on juniors through the Jamie Stevenson Trophy. The Jamie Stevenson is the annual Scottish Junior inter-club championships, where juniors from clubs from all over Scotland battle it out to be crowned champions. The event is named after Jamie Stevenson, a Scottish Orienteer, who won a gold medal at the 2003 World Orienteering Championships in Switzerland.
We may not be able to get out in the forests, hills, parks and streets for our normal orienteering activities however we can celebrate our juniors and focus on them through alternative activities.
This year, due to the on-going situation with Covid 19 we are asking clubs to support juniors to participate in an alternative set of activities as follows:
- Send in photos/memories
- Participate in a Map Challenge
- Attend a virtual Prize Giving
More details of the Map Challenge will be released on Sunday 7th June and this is to be completed for Sunday 14th June in time for the ‘prize giving’ at 6pm.
