How to join
To join NGOC, go to the British Orienteering Join Online Page.
This will automatically select NGOC as the club from the drop-down list, and the South West Orienteering Association (SWOA) will be selected as the regional association.
Note: The system will offer Family membership, but this is purely to identify how many people are applying to join; it is no longer a separate membership category.
If you would like to find out more, please contact the club’s membership secretary at membership@ngoc.org.uk.
