Inverness Orienteering Club was founded in 1978 and was one of the original orienteering
clubs in the Highlands.
Our area covers terrain both north and south of the Great Glen and as far afield as
Sutherland and Speyside.
We have strong links with our neighbouring clubs in Badenoch & Strathspey and along the
Moray Coast.
We put on a whole range of events from small local evening events up to major national competitions
to suit all standards.
Why not come along and try orienteering?
INVOC has a strong coaching emphasis, particularly for juniors, and we encourage
people of all ages to participate in the sport.
Throughout the season the Club organises coaching events suitable for all.
If you are interested in coaching or joining the Club please get in touch - see the
Contact page.

2010 Squad Selections
A big well done to Callum White, selected for the Scottish Junior Squad this year.
This is Callum's first selection, well deserved after the progress he is making.
And congratulations (again) to Jo and Rozy Shepherd, also selected
(again) this year.
Jo has also been selected for the new British Orienteering Talent Squad, recognising potential to compete for Britain at World Champs level - more congratulations!

Scottish Orienteering League 2009

Junior Coaching:
Well done to all who came along to the Juniors Christmas O and Club Champs at Uath Lochan, hope you enjoyed the day. The MOR District Event on the 7th February at Darnaway is the first league race for the year. Junior coaching at Carse, Ardersier on Sunday 14th February: we'll have Yellow and Orange standard courses and/or exercises out for practice (weather permitting) - details from Sue (coaching"at"invoc.org.uk). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
INVOC Club Meets:
When practical we try to arrange a monthly (October - April) informal club social/practice visit to a NatCen Regular Orienteering Map Programme area - a chance to join others to get out in the forest (or on the moor), have a run/walk, maybe practice some orienteering skills, pick up a few tips, and get together in the local cafe after. Likely to suit Light Green standard and above. For 2010 we may also try provide courses and exercises for juniors at Yellow/Orange standard at some club meets, more details nearer the time. Contact James Laird (clubmeets"at"invoc.org.uk) to let him know you are coming and order your map (£3). Alternatively maps can be obtained direct from the National Orienteering Centre at Glenmore Lodge. Car sharing encouraged, meet at B&Q car park (Longman Road) at 9.30am, or 10.30am at the area. Courses/technical exercises available using ROMP controls, or maybe we'll offer something a bit different sometimes. Après-O at a nearby cafe. Get in touch with James for further information or with any suggestions.
