There&#8217;s no need to be a member of an orienteering club (although there&#8217;s a discount if you are).  We encourage people to pre-enter &#8211; but we do allow entry on the day as long as we don&#8217;t run out of maps.<\/p>\n<h3>Format<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>These are traditional <em>&#8220;point-to-point&#8221;<\/em> courses, with six courses of varying lengths and technical difficulties:<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yellow:<\/strong> the easiest and shortest course, keeping to paths and obvious linear features.  It&#8217;s suitable for junior beginners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orange:<\/strong> an intermediate course involving taking shortcuts through the terrain.  It&#8217;s generally the most suitable course for adult beginners and juniors who are stepping up from the Yellow course.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Short Green\/Green\/Blue\/Brown:<\/strong> all courses of high technical difficulty, with control points located anywhere in the terrain.  These are suitable once you&#8217;re confident on the Orange course.  The courses differ in their length: Short Green may be 3-4km as the crow flies, Brown 8-10km.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Most events take place in forest or open Cotswold commons, but we mix it up a little in the summer with a couple of Urban events on the streets.<\/li>\n<li>For those with a competitive streak: results are combined across the year to find the League champion on each course, who wins a small prize.  Usually each runner&#8217;s best 7 (out of 12) events count toward the standings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Upcoming NGOC League events<\/h3>\n<div id=\"tablepress-1-scroll-wrapper\" class=\"tablepress-scroll-wrapper\">\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-1\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Date<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Event<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Venue<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Level<\/th><th class=\"column-5\">Organiser<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sat 19 Mar 22<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 3<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Cleeve Hill<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">C<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Samuel Taunton<br \/>\n(controller Paul Taunton)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sun 1 May 22<\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><a href = \"https:\/\/www.ngocweb.com\/wpngoc-dv\/league\/2022-league-4-may-hill\/\">League 4<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><a href = \"https:\/\/www.ngocweb.com\/wpngoc-dv\/league\/2022-league-4-may-hill\/\">May Hill &amp; Newent Woods<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-4\">C<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Ian Phillips<br \/>\n(controller Greg Best)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sun 22 May 22<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 5 &amp; SEOUL Urban<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Ledbury<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">C<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Clive Caffall<br \/>\n(controller Judith Taylor)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sat 9 July 22<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 6: Relay &amp; BBQ<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Leckhampton Hill<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">D<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Greg Best<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sat 16 Jul 22<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 7<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Nine Wells<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">D<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Pat Macleod<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sat 20 Aug 22<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 8<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Standish (new and extended map)<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">D<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Steve Lee &amp; John Miklausic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sat 10 Sep 22<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 9<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Parkend<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">C<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Vanessa\/Reuben Lawson<br \/>\n(controller Paul Taunton)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sat 8 Oct 22<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 10<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Headless Hill<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">D<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Andy Stott<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sat 19 Nov 22<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 11<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Cranham<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">C<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Ginny Hudson<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sat 10 Dec 22<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 12<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Danby Lodge<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">D<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Pat Macleod<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sat 14 Jan 23<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 1<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">High Meadow<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">C\/D ?<\/td><td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sat 11 Feb 23<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">League 2<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Mallards Pike North<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">C\/D ?<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Alan Pucill<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-14\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sun 30 Apr 23<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">SW League (galoppen)<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Lydney Park - tbc<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">C<\/td><td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<\/div><!-- #tablepress-1 from cache -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NGOC League is our flagship series of 12 events, roughly evenly-spaced throughout the year: they take place across Gloucestershire.
