2008 MEMBERSHIP SCHEME
To join GRAMPIAN Orienteers you must decide which level of membership you would like, i.e. either:
1) Local Membership of British Orienteering or LBM
2) National Membership of British Orienteering or NBM
The benefits if the 2 levels are laid out below, but in simple terms if you will only enter events in Scotland then join as a local member LBM, but if you might want to enter events outwith Scotland, i.e. in the rest of the UK or overseas, then join as a national member NBM.
Both types of BOF membership also include membership of SOA (The Scottish Orienteering Federation) and GRAMP.
As in 2007 all 3 partners (BOF, SOA & GRAMP) are offering FREE LOCAL MEMBERSHIP FOR NEW LOCAL MEMBERS until the end of 2008. "New" means anyone who hasn't been a member over the past 3 years. Total fees for National Membership are listed below for comparison.
