ABOUT MOLE VALLEY
ORIENTEERING CLUB
Mole Valley Orienteering Club covers parts of South London and
Surrey and the River Mole lies at its heart. Our members cluster
around the towns of Reigate, Epsom, Dorking, Sutton, Leatherhead and
their surroundings. However we also have members that live further
afield.
Our official name is Mole Valley Map and Compass Foot Racing
Society - we abbreviate to MV for easy reference!
We take the swallow as our symbol as it represents the swallow
holes in the River Mole. These are holes in the river bed that mean
the river disappears underground during dry periods. We also like to
think that because swallows are fast and accurate navigators, they
suit us well as an emblem.

Congratulations to Mike Elliot who was made Mole Of The Year at last

premier honour.

Roy
Whitehead died earlier this month.
Roy was one of the club's first members and one of
its most successful. Roy came to the sport from cycling and was a
British and JK champion in his time among numerous orienteering
achievements.
He was ever present at events for over 40 years and
crafted the Velvet Flyer trophy.
Those who knew Roy well, however, will remember him
best for his empathy and acute understanding of the natural world.
Roy's love of nature suffused everything he did and will be sadly
missed.
