Scottish Orienteering
Click the logo for details of the next Scottish International Six Day Event in 2009.
In 1982, St. Andrew's Orienteering Club (Glasgow) was formed in the East End of Glasgow with the primary purpose of making Orienteering a more accessible activity. We have had a degree of success but the job is still ongoing!
This current web site - created by Graham McFadyen - has been devoted to what has become known as the ORIENTEERINGLASGOW Lottery funded project. The links on the left provide information of the 12 courses set up in May 2002.
Details of the 3 NEW courses at Pollok, King's & Glasgow Green have now been added although there are still difficulties with CLS stocking such..
Although Glasgow has always been the hub of STAG activity we have worked on projects adjacent to the City in both North & South Lanarkshire and because of our links with the former Faskally Outdoor Centre, near Pitlochry, the Club has mapped several areas in Perthshire.
Do you know who was the 1st Scottish Club to win the Compass Sport Trophy (Small Clubs)? Well back in 1992 STAG travelled to Wales for the final and returned victorious. Several members have represented West Area & Scotland at Junior, Senior & Veteran level.
STAG is also known for hosting top quality events. We have staged the Final of the Compass Sport Cup & Trophy at Allean in 1992; Scottish Score @ Birnam in 1994; Scottish 11 Person Relay at Faskally in 1993 & 1995 at Allean North; Scottish Championships @ Errochty in 2004; Junior Home Internationals 2002 @ Errochty & Faskally; Scottish Orienteering League Events at South Achray(87);Clunie(90);Allean(92); Allean(94); Leachdann Tom na Croich(98 & 2000). Added to this we are the only Scottish Club to have hosted the Annual British Schools Championships not once but twice at Dechmont Ranges, Cambuslang (89) and Faskally, Pitlochry (96), Scottish Score @ Inshriach in 2000 I'm sure this is not the definitive list.
Although the Club may be numerically small, the individuals who helped form and create STAG also made time to develop Scottish Orienteering throughout the 1990s. Former members Blair Young, Graham McFadyen & Peter Lamb all contributed in their roles as Coaching, Fixtures & Treasurer within SOA. Currently only myself - Publicity, Coaching, Competitions, Vice-Chairman and Jackie Riley, Assistant Secretary are still active STAG members.
As our Club accelerates past our 25th Anniversary, I once again extend a warm & friendly welcome to all to come along and participate in our wonderful sport.
Best Wishes
Terry O'Brien, STAG Hon President
