Swansea Bay Orienteering Club provides a focus for orienteering across much of South West Wales.
There are currently about 80 members ranging in age from 5 to 85.
There is a wide range of ability and experience within the club from beginners to elite orienteers, who represent Great Britain all over the world.
The Club organises a series of regular events throughout the year including introductory sessions and social activities. Much of the focus in the Summer is on the series of mid-week evening events – the Summer League. Throughout the rest of the year there are other local events and coaching sessions. In addition, we normally host at least two major events each year.
For its size the club is one of the most successful in the country but we've never managed to win the Cup coompeition.
We are working with Swansea Council and Primary schools in the area to promote and develop the sport in the are. We believe that winning this compettiion would give added profile to the club and sport and inspire other children to take part. BUT to attend this compeititon final is expensive and so we need to help our club members attend.
