Membership Levels
There are two levels of Membership within British Orienteering; Local British Orienteering Memberhip (LBM) and National British Orienteering Membership (NBM).
To determine which level of membership you require you need to consider; how far you're willing to travel to take part; the type of competitions or activities you want to take part in and how frequently you orienteer.
Any orienteer that competes in more than three events will begin to save money by joining British Orienteering as members receive a discounted entry at events. Which events you receive a discount at will be determined by your level of membership and your club's location.
