SOGs are friendly club events where children and newcomers are very welcome. Yellow and Orange courses are suitable for children to run on their own with a bit of practice. Adults are welcome to shadow children until they are confident to go on their own or you can orienteer as a family group. Green and Blue courses are run or walked by any age group - you can race competitively or just enjoy the woodland.

SOG Series Scoring: Your best 5 scores to count on Blue, Green and Short Green courses, best 4 on Orange and Yellow. Points are awarded by a fiendish algorithm involving average times and standard deviations. For Blue, Green and Short Green, SOG series certificates are awarded to first man, first woman, first male veteran (M55+), first female veteran (W55+), first male junior (M20-) and first female junior (W20-). For Orange and Yellow certificates are awarded to the first three juniors (male and female) on each course. There is an additional certificate for first senior on the orange course.
