Our Next Few Activities
Take Note
With effect from June, the MLS committee is pleased to announce that entry fees for both civilian and military personnel will be reduced. The MLS will always strive to deliver a high-quality offering at reasonable prices. Fees are set at a level to ensure we remain sustainable and are reviewed on a regular basis.

Thank you for your continued support of the league and please do spread the word to your orienteering friends.

In the meantime, I know you will all join me in wishing him all the best for his future beyond the Army and for thanking him wholeheartedly for all the work and leadership he has provided to Army orienteering over the years. You can rest assured that you will still see plenty of Chris at...
