As we look forward to another exciting year of Orienteering we also reflect on the great times and events we enjoyed in 2022. This couldn't have happened without the fantastic efforts put in by club volunteers, coaches and mappers. 

The orienteering community is blessed with so many willing, talented, hard working members who happily volunteer to support the running and development of our great sport. 

The work our volunteers carry out should never be underestimated or taken for granted. In December we were delighted that this was nationally recognised by UK Coaching, in awarding last years British Orienteering Coach of the Year, Pete Maliphant, with the UK Coach of the Year Award for Talent Development! 

British Orienteering want to continue to recognise and celebrate the important place of Volunteers and Mappers through our own awards.
