Scottish Orienteering

National Centre course schedule

Condes and OCAD courses:  New to the schedule - Condes course on 4 October and 2-day OCAD course on 29-30 November.  Both will run in Edinburgh.  Please book early to be sure of a place - we expect these courses to be very popular. 

Please note:  the decision on whether to go ahead with the course or cancel it is usually made 2 weeks before the course is due to start.  We usually need at least 4 bookings to make a course viable.  Please ensure you book in good time.

Most courses are run at Glenmore Lodge; it is our preferred venue for several reasons, not least the fact that we’ve got an excellent range of areas nearby which are suitable for a wide variety of activities.  The course schedule is constantly changing, with latest additions or cancellations outlined in the summary as above.  Please note all course fees are non-residential.  We do not normally arrange accommodation, as requirements vary so much, though we are happy to suggest options.

Generally, courses are confirmed or cancelled 2 weeks before their scheduled date.  We recommend that you don’t commit to accommodation etc. until your course has been confirmed.  Some Coach courses have to be confirmed 6 weeks ahead, for materials to be ordered.

Please send a booking form DOC or PDF, or Contact us for further information.  We aim to acknowledge bookings as soon as possible after receiving the form, so if you don’t get an acknowledgement, please phone.  It has been known for people to send things to wrong addresses, whether e-mail or postal, and sometimes even for people to think they’ve sent things when in fact they haven’t.
