May is coaching month for Solway Orienteers and this form provides some details of the 2024 plan and is also the simplest route for entry for the sessions.
There will be 4 coaching sessions, each at a different location but all running from 18:30 - 19:45 on Wednesday evenings.
We offer 3 levels of coaching at each session - which to attend depends upon your knowledge and experience of orienteering:
Novice
Intermediate
Experienced.
Dates and locations plus closing dates for attending sessions are:
May 8th Rounall Wood, Dalbeattie (reserve maps by 23:00 2nd May)
May 15th Barhill Wood, Dalbeattie (reserve maps by 23:00 9th May)
May 22nd Corncockle, near Lochmaben (reserve maps by 23:00 16th May)
May 29th Crichton, Dumfries (reserve maps by 23:00 23rd May)
Each session will focus on different skills as we build up knowledge of required techniques in orienteering.
Pre-entry using the form below is the required method of entry as we can then have the correct number of maps for the session - if, at short notice you find that you are able to attend but have not used the form, please get in touch before the coaching session so that we can get additional maps.
The club coaches are all qualified for orienteering coaching and all have PVG disclosure certificates. Most of us are also qualified first aiders.
Costs are £2 per session for club members (or members of other orienteering clubs, £5 per session for adult non-members and £3 per session for junior non-members. Non-members who attend all 4 coaching sessions will be given free club and SOA membership for the rest of this 2024. How to pay will be sent out closer to the first session.
