What a brilliant moment at today’s AGM as we celebrated our Event Officials of the Year 2025 – voted for by you, our members! 
There’s nothing quite like making orienteers happy… and these legends made orienteers the happiest this year.
Each winner receives £20 credit to their SI Entries account — so they can get out there and orienteer even more (on us 
).
