Meet Our New Regional Development Officer

Please say hello to our new Regional Development Officer, Jack Hanafin! Jack will be familiar to most of our community as an established orienteer and an up and coming instructor and mapper. His work will be primarily focused in the Greater Dublin area, where he will also act as a Club Support Officer amongst other development tasks with OI.

Jack is looking forward to getting stuck into his new role and we wish him well.

Social Media Workshop for Orienteering Clubs.

In today’s world it is very important that clubs use social media to advertise and promote their orienteering activities.

For this purpose Orienteering Ireland is running a 1.5 hour social media workshop on:

Thursday 27th October 7:30pm – 9pm.

Mark Stephens will look at social media talk, covering posts, stories, reels, when best to use each feature, and their differences.

The workshop will also look at Canva, and how to put text together with images.

Clubs attending should have set up an Instagram account and Facebook page beforehand.

Ideally each club will have a minimum of one person attending, who will be happy to take on the role of the club’s social media accounts.

The registration form below gives you the opportunity to ask questions in advance of the workshop.
