Membership of Norfolk OC
Norfolk OC is a friendly and thriving Club, whose main activities are the organisation of events and the promotion and development of the sport of orienteering in Norfolk. The Club is affiliated to the East Anglian Orienteering Association which co-ordinates the sport in East Anglia, and British Orienteering, the national body, which co-ordinates activities within the UK and represents the sport on the world stage.
The nature of the sport means that membership of an orienteering club is beneficial and NORFOLK OC warmly welcomes members of all ages - individuals, families and groups (Schools, Scouts/Guides, etc). At events, courses are available to suit all ages (including children) and all levels of expertise and fitness.
The Club organises around 20 orienteering events a year, and membership of NOR allows members to attend these, take part in Club Team competitions and receive our bi-monthly newsletter, as well as receiving a discount of £2 from the event entry fee. When joining the club, you will also automatically become a member of British Orienteering which confers further benefits.
Two types of membership are available: Local and National Membership, and prospective members should select the type that best fits their requirements:
The cost of membership of Norfolk O.C. (including British Orienteering) is as follows. Please note that if you have never been a member of a club or British Orienteering and you join as a local member, you will only need to pay for the club element of the fee for your first year. The membership year ends on 31st December.

A local Member can compete in all events, all over the country except the British Orienteering Championships (you have to be a National Member to compete). However if you attend events outside the East Anglian Orienteering Association area (EAOA) you will have to pay £2 extra per event.
A National Member can compete in any event all over Britain, including the British Championships and will never have to pay a £2 surcharge anywhere in the country.
Affiliate Membership of NOR is available to those who wish to retain membership of NOR as their second club, or for groups of juniors who only attend local events. The cost of this is £4. Please contact the membership secretary for this.
You will receive a card to prove you are a member and will have to produce this at all events when you enter on the day. If you pre-enter (by web for example) you just quote your British Orienteering number to get the discount.

NOTE: The Club maintains membership details in data form on a personal computer and application for membership implies agreement to personal information being stored in this way.
Organising orienteering events usually requires the assistance of a number of helpers. All adult members 
are expected to agree to help in organising events from time to time, which most people enjoy. It requires no special expertise, does not preclude participation in events where help is offered and provides an added social dimension to membership. Non-members are welcome at all our events but we hope you'll join us since Orienteering can only survive if competitors join clubs and contribute to the running of the sport.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the NOR Membership secretary via the Contacts Page.
