Southern Navigators (SN) welcomes new members of all ages, from complete beginners through to experienced orienteers. The club is affiliated to British Orienteering, the sport’s national governing body, and you join the club via British Orienteering (see below for details).

How to Join

Go to Membership page of British Orienteering website  where you will be prompted to select your chosen club (SN) and regional Association (either SCOA or SEOA because SN straddles both regions). You will be asked to make a single payment to British Orienteering: Club SN’s share of this fee is forwarded to us automatically. The amount will be the sum of the BO fee for each individual plus the SN fee per the table below. You do not need to make a separate payment to SN. You will receive confirmation of your membership from BO and a printable “membership card” by email if you joined on-line, or otherwise by post. Having joined, you will receive annual reminders from BO in the autumn for the following calendar year.

	Senior (born in   1992 or earlier)	Junior (born  in 1993 or later	Family e.g. 2 adults  & 2 juniors
British Orienteering	£5.00	£2.00	£5 per adult + £2 per junior
SN	£13.00	£4.00	£20
Total	£18.00	£6.00	£20+BO fee

If you are joining as a Family, the membership fee will be the SN family fee £20 (up to 2 adults & any number of juniors at same address) plus the sum of the British Orienteering fees for each member of your family. Example.
