About the club About the club Harlequin's membership and mapped areas fall within an area centred just West of Birmingham. Bounded in the West by Leominster, in the North Walsall and Dudley, in the South Malvern and in the East the M42. About half of our membership lives in Birmingham with concentrations in Kidderminster, Worcester and the Black Country. Our better small orienteering areas lie on an outcrop of sandstone running from Stourport, North East to Himley.
Harlequins are large, long established and successful orienteering club.
We currently have 200 membership units, giving a total of around 380 members. There is still some argument about exactly when the club was founded, the generally agreed date is April 1st 1968. In our early years we absorbed Halesowen Orienteering Club and spawned Wrekin Orienteering Club. An official history of the club does exist, somewhere, - if the preceding link works then we have found it. Amongst our membership we have some very competitive orienteers.
