Introduction to orienteering events

Roxburgh Reivers Orienteering Club invite you to try orienteering in pleasant Borders woodlands.

Introductory talk and demonstration at 11am when the basics of orienteering will be explained – with time to try one of the courses afterwards, either in a small group with a member of the club or on your own.

Two courses will be on offer: one basic, the other slightly more technical. We supply the map, just come prepared for a walk or run in the woods (mainly paths and tracks for these introductory days).

International selections

Several club members have been selected for representative honours this autumn: 

Running for Scotland at the Junior Home Internationals being held in Ireland on 29/30 September are Karen Maxwell and Andrew Tullie. John Tullie and Lindsey Knox are in the Scottish team for the Veteran Home Internationals taking place near Blair Atholl in November. Last but not least, Douglas Tullie scooped the prize for the “best weather” selection and is heading for Southern France as a member of the GB team at the Junior European Cup being held near Nantes on 12-14 October.
