Organising orienteering events usually requires the assistance of a number of helpers. All adult members are expected to agree to help in organising events from time to time, which most people enjoy. It requires no special expertise, does not preclude participation in events where help is offered and provides an added social dimension to membership.
Non-members are welcome to sample up to three events before committing to local or national Membership.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact Saxons'
secretary (secretary@saxons-oc.org).
