British Orienteering have announced that Bernie Dietzig will leave his role as Performance Pathway Director at the end of December.

Bernie will commence a detailed handover with those involved in the performance programme until his departure.

Bernie said: “There is never a ‘right time’ to leave but with committed key personnel in place and strategies for WOC 24 already mapped out, I am convinced that British Orienteering’s performance programme has a good thing going.

I’ve had a really good time with British Orienteering, and I count myself lucky to have been given the chance to work with so many dedicated and passionate people operating within this organisation. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone the best of luck and success for 2024 and beyond!"

British Orienteering said:

“Bernie has made a huge contribution to British Orienteering since his appointment to his role as Performance Director. We give him our sincere thanks and appreciation and wish him all the very best in whatever direction his future takes him.”
