This in-person Event Safety and Welfare (ESW) workshop is aimed at all who orienteer – whether you are a coach, a competitor, an event official (planner or organiser) or helper. It is a suitable refresher for those who have attended the course before – there are some new materials!
Delivered in person in South West Scotland in late May, this 2.5 hour workshop will cover event safety and is a prerequisite for all event officials with SOA/BOF events and licenced coaches. We will firm up on a date/venue once we know how many people wish to attend and their availability.
This workshop is free to Scottish members.
Please complete the registration form asap – the sooner we know who needs to do it and their availability, the easier it is for us to schedule.
A pair of low key Organiser workshops is being run over 2 online sessions, 7.30 – 8.45 on Thursday 22nd January and Thursday 26th February with short home/in club tasks to be completed in between.
This informal and accessible course is open to anyone who is just starting out in organising and will cover the basics of putting on a local (level D) event. The trainer will share their knowledge and guide you through the process step by step, with plenty of time for discussion and questions. There will be take-away resources to help you organise your first event successfully.
We are always looking for ways to help you – our hardworking volunteers – and one of our offerings is organisers’ courses. Organising can be something that folk find off putting due the seeming enormity of the task. If you would like to help your club by organising an event but don’t know where to start then one of our organisers’ courses is the right place.

Organising seems to strike fear into the hearts of the most stout orienteers but is an essential job for all events. Have you ever wanted to help out your club by organising an event but have been put off by the seeming complexity of the job? Well, help is at hand – 2 levels of courses for adults and juniors (16+) have been devised to demystify the whole process and equip you – yes, You – to organise a Level D or local event.
The first presentation of this course last year was very well received and we are anxious to equip more potential organisers to do a great job.
Events can’t run without volunteers and some of those volunteering roles require a degree of expertise. Come along to one of our courses, learn new skills and help your club and the sport to put on those events that we all enjoy. Courses coming up in 2025 include:
short home/in club tasks to be completed in between.
