Training within QO
What opportunities does our club offer to help members improve and progress through organised training?
See our events listing for more details about the following.
From Autumn through to Spring we have:
JOG - on successive Saturday afternoons, we run our ever popular JOG sessions for juniors, improvers and established orienteers.
The training exercises for adults and older juniors are detailed here.
Schemes & resources
Buddy scheme
We try where possible to pair people up who can help each other or allow those with relatively high skills, confidence and experience to pass those things on. Scheme contact: Angela Modica.
"Skilling Up" training articles
Richard Sansbury 30-part series is highly recommended for those looking to improve at Orange level or above.
