North Gloucestershire Orienteering Club (NGOC) was formed way back in the
late '60s - nobody seems to know exactly when. As its name implies, it is based
around Gloucestershire although the 'North' stems from the North Gloucestershire
Technical College at which the club was formed.

Our membership is not entirely limited to Gloucestershire as there are many
surrounding counties which don't have clubs. Hereford & Worcestershire, Wiltshire,
Oxfordshire all feature and we actually lose a lot of our potential catchment
area to Bristol OK.

Despite its age and experience, the club's members have had relatively little success at
winning trophies. There are a few exceptions though amongst our more senior members and we
always have a good go at the Harvester Trophy.

The club is affiliated to the South West Orienteering Association
