SOC events postponed until further notice

Webmaster Tue, 17/03/2020 - 11:31

It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce that, in line with guidance from British Orienteering, all of SOC's events are postponed until further notice, including the Sunset and Beyond Relay and the Level C event at Acres Down. We will be looking to refund, in full, any entry fees already paid. Our thanks go to the officials who have already invested many hours into these events and we hope that we will be able to announce their rescheduling at some point in the future.

Members' Zoom!

The club's first online meeting was a great success. Eight members met in an Zoom meeting for a chat. Rob Finch gave us a run-down on his Trail-O experiences during lockdown which have taken him (virtually) to areas all over the world - from Finland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to Mozambique and Playmobil World! If you fancy giving it a try, take a look at Stage 3 of Lockdown Orienteering's World Orienteering Day event, try one of the many training events, or compete against Rob and others in the T.O.R.U.S. Cup. Oh, and if like me, you don't know your PreO from your TempO, look at the information on the British Orienteering website.

The plan is to repeat the format with another meeting at 8:30pm on 11 June. Members can find the login details for the event here. If you have any problems, or have something you'd like to share (doesn't have to be orienteering related - just likely of interest to orienteers) then drop me an webmaster [at] socweb.org (email).

We have a Facebook group for any Club Members who would like to discuss training, events or anything orienteering related! It's been quiet for a while (and slightly repurposed) but with current social distancing in place, and no proper orienteering events for a while, we thought it would be good to get some chat and discussion going. Obviously not everyone has Facebook, but for those who do it would be great if you joined and got involved.
