Membership

Bennelong Northside Orienteers is always on the lookout for new members. New members not only increase our representation in ONSW and bring more government support to the sport; New members are new friends to share our sport with! Our club is centred around the north-shore and northern beaches area of Sydney, but we welcome members from everywhere! As Sydney's oldest orienteering club, we have a wealth of knowledge in our senior members, who are always happy to share their expertise in navigation and cartography. We have produced maps at a large number of urban Sydney locations for our Sydney Summer Series events and for a number of bushland locations throughout NSW.

• Member-rates for entry to NSW orienteering events (save at least $3 per event)
