Planning and Organising in 2025

We are working on an exciting programme of events for 2025 but none of these can happen without planners and organisers!
Don’t worry if you haven’t planned or organised before because you will be able to work with an experienced mentor offering advice and guidance.
In particular we need planners and organisers for these sort of events…
- Larger events attracting orienteers from all over Scotland and the UK:
most suitable for slightly more experienced planners who would like to plan an event with 7 or 8 courses. Organisation has slightly more to do than a Saturday event so we would like to be able to assign 2 organisers (and 2 planners) to each of these events so that there’s not too much for any one person to do. - Monthly Saturday events featuring classic cross country orienteering
suitable for both experienced and newer planners and an ideal introduction to organising an event. - Sprintelopes are lightweight urban orienteering events taking place on Wednesday evenings in spring and early summer
an ideal introduction to planning a low key event with just three courses.
In short:
- The planner is the person who actually decides on the details of the courses – where the controls will be etc.
- The organiser is responsible for checking that all the kit arrives and that there are sufficient helpers available on the day.
Please let us know if you can help out!
