WENT 2 at Musgrave Park
Following last week’s season opener in Ormeau, the WENT moves to Musgrave Park this evening.

The time limit will be 45 minutes so please make sure you have a watch or similar timing device attached to your person! Read More …
Beat the Street – Cards and Maps
If you are coming to Beat the Street activity on Saturday we have been able to source more cards and maps. So you don’t need to call at a library or Tesco in advance. Just come along to Orangefield Park at 11.30!
BOF Membership Fees
Just a reminder that if you wish to submit a proxy vote on the proposals to increase the BOF membership fees and event levy you need to do so by 5pm tomorrow (Thursday 27th Oct). The proposals and voting form are here. For reference, the current BOF membership fee is £5 (which becomes £15 total when the LVO and NIOA membership fees are added). The levy is paid by the club every time you compete and comes out of your entry fee. It is currently £1.25 per Senior, with 3 Juniors counting as one Senior.
Last Chance to Beat the Street
With the postponement of the Donard Autumn Trophy on Saturday, if you had orienteering marked in your diary for the day, then here’s an alternative. You may be aware of Beat the Street which moves on from Belfast next Wednesday 2 November. Beat the Street is pretty similar to Street-O with Beat Boxes instead of controls attached to lampposts. Instead of a dibber you need a Beat the Street Card. The maps are also provided by Beat the Street. The control description is always “Lamppost”! So here’s the plan: Assemble at the Orangefield Park carpark at Houston Park, Belfast, BT5 6AT from 11.30am for Read More …
