Cheshire and Merseyside Schools Orienteering League

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.

Cheshire & Merseyside Schools Events

Schools' events are open to all comers, but there is not the usual full range of technical courses. There are 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. The Schools Events are ideal events for any 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 () (tel: 01695 555421)

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 by the mnemonic 'SI' in purple). You can hire an SI card for £1.00, but it will cost you £20.00 if you lose it!
