Tuesday Training Nights
We are delighted to announce that the University of York Orienteering Club (UYOC) has kindly invited EBOR members to join their weekly Tuesday evening training sessions.
This is a fantastic opportunity for members of both clubs to train together, share ideas and enjoy some orienteering in a friendly and supportive environment.
The details:
-
When: Tuesdays at 7pm, starting 20th October (please note the original post on facebook stated a start day of 13th, but this has been postponed due to illness)
-
Where: University of York, meeting at Central Car Park (in front of the Spring Lane Building)
-
Cost: £1 per EBOR member
Jed from UYOC will meet everyone at the car park at 7pm and escort them to room D/L/003, where the session will begin. This will be followed by some practical orienteering exercises around the Bush Garden area near Heslington Hall.

Going Orienteering? Let's Share a Lift
As part of our growing collaboration with the University of York Orienteering Club (UYOC), we're pleased to support a new car-sharing initiative to help members travel to orienteering events together.
We all know that travelling to events can sometimes involve quite a journey, particularly for those without their own transport. Sharing lifts is a great way to make events more accessible, reduce travel costs, cut down on unnecessary car journeys and, of course, enjoy some good company along the way!
Fin from UYOC has kindly set up a Google Form to gather contact details from anyone interested in joining a car-sharing WhatsApp group.
The idea is simple: members can use the group to offer lifts, request transport or coordinate journeys to upcoming events.
Interested in getting involved?
Please complete the short form below to register your interest:
Whether you're a regular driver with a spare seat or someone who would appreciate a lift now and again, we'd encourage you to get involved.
It's another positive step towards closer cooperation between EBOR and UYOC, and hopefully will help more people enjoy our wonderful sport.
A big thank you to Fin for taking the initiative and getting this organised!

New to Orienteering
There are loads of ways for you to get involved in Orienteering. Club night runs weekly during school term time and is a great starting point. We have coaches on hand to help you in your first sessions.
We also have our Anytime Events using MapRun, a way to Orienteer using your phone or smartwatch. These are free, you just need to print the map and download the app.
EBOR and other local clubs also run small local events which are a fantastic way to start the competitive side of Orienteering. Details of our Events can be found here as well as on the British Orienteering Website.
