Membership for 2016

British Orienteeringchanged its membership structure in 2013, with membership fees being drastically reduced over previous years. However to balance this, the levy which is paid at each event has been increased to a flat £1 per person (3 juniors = 1 senior). The SWOA membership fee was abolished, but the SWOA levy also increases.

To join Wimborne Orienteers please download the membership form from the British Orienteering Website, complete and return it to British Orienteeing, ticking the box for National membership or Local memberships and specifying 'Wimborne Orienteers' as your club. Membership includes a payment to  Wimborne Orienteers (WIM). The total for 2016 is as follows: 

Wimborne Orienteers Membership Note: At the 2012 AGM, members voted to allow the club to offer either National or Local membership - previously WIM did not off local membership.
As a 'National' member you may take part in any event in any part of the UK at a reduced rate fee. 'Local membership' only allows you a reduced rate within your region, in our case the SW. The reduced rate is always £ 2  less per adult per event.

Wimborne Orienteers catchment area is located adjacent to a regional boundary and most members frequently take part in events run by clubs in the South Central and South East areas and as 'Local' members will be paying the £2 premium at every event out of the region. As a result of this situation the club suggests that most members join us as National members, particularly as membership is now so inexpensive..  Please make sure that you tick the correct box  on the membership application form.
