Universities

We have club members at both Warwick University and Coventry University and welcome students to any of our events.

The Warwick University campus has been mapped for orienteering and there is usually at least one event held there each year.

We are in the process of improving links with local universities with help from British Orienteering who are keen to promote orienteering at universities.

If you are a student in our area and are interesting in having a go at orienteering, please get in touch with the club or just come along to one of our events. We can put you in touch with other students who are already involved in the sport.

• The OD local events are ideal for beginners to have a go at orienteering. We can help to arrange transport to the events if needed.
• The Wainbody Woods event on 25th Feb 2012 is within walking distance of the University of Warwick campus.
• More events at or close to the universities are currently being planned for next year. Keep an eye on the website for further details.
• For events further afield, we can help to arrange lift shares.
• Entry to the Saturday morning and Wednesday evening events is free for full-time students. The only cost is £1 for EMIT hire if you do not have your own.

UWOC

Until recently, there was an active orienteering club at Warwick University (UWOC) which still has a website at http://www.uwoc.co.uk with loads of information on it.

It would be great if the club could be started up again. There are several Warwick University students who are currently trying to make this happen with help from British Orienteering.
