Looking for something to do on Sunday? Worried that the season might be coming to an end? Never fear, we still have plenty on offer. Why not come and join us on Sunday afternoon in Kilbroney Forest Park. If you came to the Autumn Trophy event you’ll know how good the park is. If you didn’t attend before now is your chance. As well as the orienteering, there is also a coaching session beforehand on route choice for any juniors or novices looking to improve. All I would ask is that if you wish to attend either or both, please Read More …

The Autumn Trophy standings have been calculated following last Saturday’s event at Divis and can be found at “Resources>LVO Public Folders>Club Colour Series”.  Congratulations to all the class winners – that’s the first in each class listing and with an asterisk against their name.  The asterisk indicates that you achieved 2 results so were eligible to be considered for the win.  There are 28 asterisks out of a club of 226 members; how do we get folk to go orienteering?

The NISeries tables and the Colour Standard table have been updated with the results of the Gortin Glen event last Saturday – thanks FermO (and controller Billy Reed).  They can be found at “Resources>LVO Public Folders>NI Series (or) Colour Standards”.  In the NISeries tables the absence of a club against a name indicates a non-NIOA member (thus scoring no points).  In the Colour Standards table a yellow highlight indicates a 2017 un-renewed member; if they fail to join for 2018 their history will be dropped at the end of the year.

Note this is for access only. Payment for entry will be on the day.  

Please note that the date of the next Colour Series event at Tyrella has had to be changed for reasons beyond our control. The new date is Saturday 17th November.   Please also note that as this event is accessed through MOD property you will need to register attendance in advance.  Full details will follow.
