Join Now - Membership open for 2023

We invite you to join Moravian Orienteers, and benefit from being a member of an active orienteering club that hosts regular events throughout the year around Moray.  Non-members are welcome to come to our events to try orienteering (up to three events per year), but if you want to get the most out of the sport, including reduced rates for events, we invite you to join our club. Click HERE to find out more about the benefits of club membership, and the option whether to join British Orienteering (including the Scottish Orienteering Association) or just the Scottish Orienteering Association.

Scottish Sprint Success + RDO Appointed

Scottish Sprint Championships
Recently we saw yet more Moravians on the podium. You can see the four medallists on the right. Andrew gold and Colin silver - 11 seconds apart in the Men's Super Vets Class, Morag was the bronze medallist in the Women's Vets and Eddie was also bronze in the men's Ultra Vets. The event was run round an estate in Kirkintilloch, followed by a bonus urban event round a local wildlife reserve.

Club Development Officer - Will Hall
We are pleased to announce that we have been successful in recruiting a Club Development Officer, Will Hall, to lead the development of a training, coaching and activity programme linked to and extending on Moray 23 this summer.  This provides us with an ideal opportunity to raise awareness of orienteering in Moray, and will help to increase participation at all orienteering events in the Moray area.  The role will be targeted at the junior age group, and we hope will lead to an increase in junior and adult/family club members. We have secured funding from the Orienteering Foundation and the SOA, which together with a contribution from club funds has allowed us to offer Will a two day per week contract for 12 months.

The plan is for Will to work alongside our club coaches, particularly Karen and Morag, as well as our keen Junior orienteers to engage with school and family groups, for example with Active Schools and Outfit Moray.  At the same time, Fran Loots (Scottish Orienteering Association) will be developing some activities in the lead up to Moray 23 - the first one of which was an Introduction to Orienteering course delivered to teachers in Elgin last week. Will attended this course, and made some useful contacts. 

Some of us met Will at the Altyre local event a few of weeks ago. Will lives in Burghead, and has considerable experience working for local organisations that provide training in outdoor activities, particularly for a younger audience. He also has a lot of social media expertise, which he has developed to support his developing Wildlife photography interests. We have asked Will to introduce himself to you in the next newsletter.  Will is being managed on a day to day basis by Rob and Karen. If you have any ideas or suggestions for activities to engage local groups that Will could develop, please let us know.  Will’s email is cdo(at)mor.scot.

Thursday Hill Training

We hold informal hill training sessions every Thursday morning between 09:30 - 10:30 in Forres.  We meet at Grant Park, run for about an hour, usually around Cluny Hill (depending on how energetic we are feeling!) and then enjoy a coffee and chat.

About Us

runner

Moravian Orienteering Club has been in existence since 1974. We are located in the North East of Scotland, where we have access to some of the best orienteering terrain in Scotland.

Our membership come from Moray, Nairn and historic Banffshire. We have a core of active members who orienteer all over the world; some of our members are in Scottish or GB Squads, others have represented Scotland or Great Britain, but the majority are recreational orienteers who love the challenge of navigating and running in Moray's fantastic countryside.

Orienteering is a sport for all the family, ages and abilities, so we aim to be inclusive in everything we do, and provide a welcoming, supportive, and safe environment for all. We encourage participation and involvement in all our events, and want to help members develop as orienteers, with a full range of regular coaching opportunities.

Contact us here:  club@mor.scot

 

Membership

Membership through British Orienteering for 2023 costs £25 for adults and £7 for juniors (under 21).  This automatically gives you membership of Scottish Orienteering.  Membership through Scottish Orienteering alone for 2023 costs £10 for adults and £2 for juniors (under 21).  The sport of orienteering heavily subsidises junior membership because we know how important it is to have young people in our sport.  If your son or daughter is joining, we'd encourage an adult family member to join too in order to help the sport grow in the UK.

Please note that non-members of an orienteering club are only covered under our insurance for 3 events.
