Welcome to Harlequins Orienteering Club’s website. We are based in the West Midlands of England and our ‘catchment’ covers Birmingham, the Black Country, Worcestershire and parts of Shropshire and Herefordshire.

If you are new to orienteering, take a look at our New to Orienteering page for hints and tips and check out our Birmingham based Beginners and Families events.


Our AGM will be held on the 17th October – more details in this link. Many Committee members have been in post for a number of years and would love to hand over their roles to fresh faces.

There are brief job outlines on the Who’s Who page. Our WMOA representative, Membership Secretary, General Secretary and Chair are all particularly in need of a break from their roles. Please do contact any committee member if you would like to offer help or need more information – details on the Who’s Who page.

We are committed to the principles of Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults and our Safeguarding page explains our policies and practice.


And as a reward for reading this far, a reminder of why we love orienteering!
