How to join the club

Tayside Orienteers welcomes new members, from complete beginners to experienced orienteers. Orienteering is the ultimate family sport where mums and dads, and grannies and grandads can compete at the same time on courses specially planned to suit their age groups. We all share a love of the physical and/or mental challenge of the sport. Joining the club brings a wide range of benefits, both local and national.

You do not need to be a member of a club to participate in orienteering - many people will want to come along to at least one event before committing, but joining Tayside Orienteers brings many benefits (see below).
