Beginners at a Local Event

Informal events

The POTOC local events provide courses for beginners and club orienteers of different standards. Registration is from 10:00 am to 11:30 (or from 5:00 pm to 7:00 at evening events). To offset the cost of staging these events, a fee of £3·00/£1·50 will be charged (reduced to £2·00/£1·00 for BOF members of POTOC). Usually, one course is specially designed for practice in particular skills and the Club Coach will be on hand to give instruction and personal help; it is best to come early, at 10:00 if possible.

At the event, you will be asked to complete a registration slip. If you would prefer to prepare your registration slip[s] in advance, you can download blank slips in one of several formats: Acrobat Reader, Microsoft Word or OpenOffice 2.

The club runs a league for schools and youth groups which compete in POTOC local events.

The POTOC annual membership fee (not including British Orienteering membership) is £12·00 for a family, £8·00 for an individual senior, £3·00 for an individual junior, £5·00 for Social or Second Club membership or £12·00 for a group. Contact the New Members Secretary.
