East Anglian Schools Orienteering League (EASOL replacing ESSOL)

Calling all SUFFOC juniors.  There is a newly formed East Anglian Schools Orienteering League (EASOL) that you can be part of.  EASOL events are open to all young people of school age in the catchment areas of SOS, SUFFOC, WAOC, HAVOC, NOR and SMOC clubs. You don’t need your school to be involved in orienteering, you just need to make sure when you enter any of the events below (please check club websites nearer the time for confirmation event is taking place) that you add your school name, the year group you are in and enter the correct course for your year group.  You can run a harder course if you would like to – for full rules see the page on our website.
