Deeside Main page

Deeside Orienteering Club (DEE) was founded in 1969. Geographically it covers most of Cheshire west of the M6, and the Wirral. Our Club magazine Deeside News is published bi-monthly, and sent out to members with a copy of the NorthWest News, and the NorthWest Fixtures sheet. We revised the club Constitution in October 1999.

Cloth or metal badges and key rings, all with the Deeside logo (see top of page), can be obtained from Enquiries at Deeside events.

Permanent Courses & Events

DEE maintains a number of Permanent Courses, and runs events about once a month through the autumn and winter.

DEE stages several events throughout the year, including a series of about a dozen summer evening events during April, May, June and July, which form an ideal introduction to orienteering; the schedule for the year is published in late March/early April. A Summer League, with a number of categories, is run for club members on the results of the Summer Evening Events.

The Club stages major events which may attract in excess of 500 orienteers, and club members attend local, district and regional events run by other clubs all over the country. The orienteering calendar usually contains several events on every weekend of the year. However, the main season is considered to start in September and finish with the major championships in April/May.

Deeside also puts on training sessions for juniors, and organises training runs on most Tuesday evenings.
