Welcome to Newcastle Orienteering Club

Orienteering is a competitive or non-competitive recreational activity in which participants use a detailed map (and usually a compass) to navigate between checkpoints (known as “controls”) along an unfamiliar course. If you like a mental and physical challenge and exploring the outdoors, orienteering is the sport for you!

Maitland Gaol tour
This tour is now confirmed to go ahead. Thanks to those that booked places. They can pay for and receive their tickets at the info tent preferably on day1. We could still take a couple of more people if they contact us in the very near future.

Petanque Tournament
We are still short on numbers but edging closer to ensuring this social event proceeds. I'm a poor judge, I thought this would be over subscribed (especially at $5 per head), so prove me right by getting your apathetic bum into gear by contacting Margaret or Geoff Peel to book your place. 02 49680977 This email address is being protected from spambots.
