Success !
We have been successful in our application to Live Argyll Community Sports Hub Return to Sports Grant. This grant will enable us to replace our dilapidated equipment store at Taynuilt. We are hoping to build our new shed close to Taynuilt Sports Pavilion. This will allow us to come together as a club and hold regular orienteering activities.
Lots of fun and exciting times ahead.
We would like to offer our grateful thanks to Live Argyll Community Sports Hub for their generous contribution.

New to Orienteering?
Orienteering is a sport that combines map reading and running. Competitors have to find their way between a series of checkpoints, called controls, as quickly as possible. There’s no set route between the controls, so you have to decide which way to go and then find your way there without getting lost.
