About ELO
We are a small friendly club and our members come from a mixture of families and individuals and range in age from 3 to 70 years of age.
In recent years the club has grown steadily – we have more members than ever, we stage more events and we see increasing numbers attending those events. Our current focus is on continuing those trends and on improving the orienteering skills of both junior and senior members.
Our members compete at a range of events, from local events in East Lothian to the Scottish and British Championships. Many of our members enjoy participating at any level, getting satisfaction from completing a course, enjoying the challenge of finding a tricky control, keeping fit in an interesting way, exploring new places and meeting new people.
The club was formed in 1980 so later in 2020 we had hoped to hold a social event to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Our Silver Anniversary in 2005 was celebrated with a barbecue attended by some of the founders who are now honorary members.
