The purpose of the league is to promote the sport of orienteering to school and youth groups in Cheshire and Merseyside by providing a series of orienteering events, a competitive league, a Primary Schools' Championship and a relay event each school year. The league is organised on an informal basis and co-ordinated by members of Merseyside Orienteering Club and Deeside Orienteering Club. |
Schools events are open to all comers, but there is not a full range of technical courses. White, Yellow, Orange, Light Green and Green courses are available at most Schools Events. If the area is not of an adequate technical standard for a green course, a long light green course will be provided. These events are ideal for beginners.
To reduce queuing at registration, schools and groups can pre-enter by telephone by 20:00 on the Wednesday before the event. For DEE events, please telephone the event organiser. For MEROC events, please contact Matthew Cochrane either by telephone (01695 555421) or by . Pre-printed maps will be available at MEROC events. To guarantee a pre-printed map it is essential that school teams (or other Orienteers) should register by the 20:00 Wednesday deadline. Master maps will be available for entry on the day. A master map procedure will still apply to DEE events.
Some events, as indicated, will use SPORTident (SI) electronic punching (highlighted in purple). You can hire an SI card for £1, but it will cost you £20 if you lose it!
