Former British Orienteering Federation Chairman Clive Allen has spent time delving into the archives and files held at the University of Sheffield.
Clive Allen says: “One of the things I did whilst I was visiting the British Orienteering archive, after going through the 1969 editions of the newsletter issued at that time, ‘Stop Press’, was to look through the records of events for that year, and from the two sources of information I have listed the clubs that I think came into being that year and will, therefore, have their 50th anniversaries this year (2019).”
