As part of the SOA’s Competition Calendar Review, we’d like to get the opinions from all members on the future of the Scottish orienteering calendar.

Please note: SOA members who wish to attend Sunday’s EGM at Dreghorn Barracks, Edinburgh but are not taking part in either the VHI or SOL events MUST register their name to Fiona@Scottish-Orienteering.org prior to 3pm on Thursday 19th September to ensure we provide the Security Gate accurate attendee list to gain access. All members attending the EGM must bring photo ID to the Security Gate.

Current SOA Events Manager Colin Matheson is, with immediate effect, also taking on the role of SOA Competition Coordinator.

Are you keen to help the Scottish Orienteering Association drive forward by becoming the next SOA President, or new Director of Marketing & Communications? We’re looking for two people to fill these key roles.

We are pleased to announce that Jon Musgrave has been selected to lead our SOA Competition Calendar Review.

The minutes from the Scottish Orienteering Association Annual General Meeting are now available to be downloaded from the link below, following the AGM which took place in Bo’Ness on 22 June.

Mar Orienteering Club’s Jon Musgrave was awarded the 2019 Scottish Orienteering Association President’s Medal at the SOA AGM in Bo’Ness on 22 June, for his outstanding achievements organising orienteering events in Scotland.

We will be hosting an EGM this year on Sunday 22 September to coincide with the SOL and VHI events. Please put the date in your diary, more details to follow.

Scottish Orienteering’s quarterly magazine, SCORE, is in search of a new Editor to take over after the September issue. As current Editor, Sheila Reynolds, approaches three years as Editor, she has decided it’s time for her to hand over to someone else for the next leg.

Scottish Orienteering has become a signatory of Scotland’s Mental Health Charter for Physical Activity and Sport, which aims to make physical activity and sport more accessible to people with mental health problems, from grassroots groups to professional clubs.
