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.
Dick Amour:
It is with great sadness we report the sudden death of Dick Amour on
30th October 2007.
Ray Walder has put together a short piece for us with some thoughts and memories: Dick Amour 1939-2007.
INVOC held a memorial O event for Dick at Drumashie on 13th April 2008 which
raised £700 for Mountain Rescue and the Search And Rescue Dog Association.

A pretty good week of orienteering, hope you all enjoyed it. Thanks to all who helped out,

Club Training for 2008: We have started a regular monthly training/social trip to the NatCen Regular Orienteering Map Programme in 2008. A chance to join others to practice your orienteering, have a run, pick up a few tips, and maybe get together in the local pub or cafe after. Likely to suit Light Green standard and above. We probably won't schedule anything over the Summer but watch out for future dates. |
