As a committee, we are here to make sure you get the most out of both disciplines of Orienteering and Fell Running. More importantly to make your experience of club sport at the University of Sheffield the best it can be. Here is your committee for the 2022/23:

Captain
Alice Gamble (Civil Engineering)

"Whilst my dad has always been a keen fell runner, it wasn't until I joined ShUOC that I really took to the sport. The Peaks provide beautiful locations for social runs whilst also having the opportunity to travel far flung places in the UK such as the Lake District for races and social weekend. Having people to run with makes a real difference!"
Talk to her about:
Anything at all!

Treasurer
Jack Baker (Medicine)

"I joined ShUOC in my second year at Sheffield but I was running before university and I wanted something to make running more exciting. I did my first fell race with the club which made for a great day travelling all together. I've also really enjoyed orienteering and like to try and attend local events. Everyone at the club is really friendly and lots of them are very knowledgeable about wither sport. I really enjoy the social aspect of the club as every session you can catch up with everyone!"

Talk to him about: Anything to do with finances!

"Hellooo wonderful ShUOCer's, I'm Freya and I like to take fell running literally as I fall over alot. The Peak District is definitely my happy place and its so nice that there's so many like minded people in ShUOC to get out there running with! I'm a massive Strava addict and I can't wait to give you all kudos for this years training!"

Social Secretary
Andrew MacDonald (MBCHB)

"I started running in high school when I did cross country and when in college I then started road running to keep up my fitness. When coming to uni I decided to join shuoc as it was a great way to get to know the trails around Sheffield and to meet people with similar interests. I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the club this year as it has developed my running and it has been the best way to meet people."
​
Talk to him about:
How to get involved with the social side of the club. What the events are we run (both alcoholic and non alcoholic), what they entail etc.

Publicity Officer
Laura Harrison (Sports Science)

"I have been competing in orienteering all my life and I have had so many opportunities from competing all over the UK to running for my local club as well as nationally to running for my university at BUCS. ShUOC is a fantastic club which has some amazing members who help to inspire and support each other. ShUOC has been an extremely welcoming club welcoming Hallam members to all events. It has been a fantastic few years with ShUOC and last year was one of our best, I look forward to seeing what the club can achieve this year! It's going to be good!!"
​
​Talk to her about: Anything with our social media accounts

Inclusions and Welfare Officer
Evan Bowers (Dentistry)

Picture
"I have been orienteering since I was young, and despite stubbornly refusing to improve I still love it. Since joining ShUOC in the before-COVID-times, I've also been getting more into running up hills without maps, and through both of our sports, I have met some amazing people, ran in some incredible places and generally had a much better university experience."
Talk to him about:
Any concerns you may be having or if you feel uncomfortable within the club.

Secretary
​Alex Mason (Material Science Engineering)

Picture
"ShUOC is a great club to join whether you're an experienced fell runner or orienteer, a road runner who wants to try something new or even if you're completely new to running. Sheffield offers plenty of paths, trails and landscapes accessible straight from your door. There's even more to explore in the Peak District, just a short bus journey away, making it one of the best cities to be a fell runner or orienteer!"

Talk to him about:
Any upcoming trips.

Fell Running Coordinator
Harry Scott (Engineering)

"Since being planted in Sheffield as a EUOC spy in 2019, I've been working hard to avoid good results. The final stage of the plan is to turn every remaining orienteer in ShUOC into a vest wearing, hill-obsessed, flag following machine. I like a short race and a long cake stall."


Talk to him about:
If you have any questions about fell runs or races

Orienteering Coordinator
Eleanor Ellis (Geography)

Picture
"I've been orienteering for most of my life and thoroughly enjoy being outside running through various terrains. Sheffield and the Peak District is the perfect place to run and absorb the outdoors."
​
Talk to her about:
Orienteering specific training, if you want any maps for areas or want to know how to improve your navigation skills.

Safety Officer
Joseph Goodwin (General Engineering)

Picture
​"I've been orienteering since the age of 8 and I have always enjoyed the sense of challenge and freedom it seems to bring. The sport brought me to Sheffield as I knew I wanted to go to university somewhere with an active orienteering community as well as some fantastic terrain to run on. When I'm not running or studying I enjoying cooking and baking, in the the evening you will usually find me with some hot chocolate and a book."

​Talk to him about:
How the club ensures everyone is safe out on the fells, on trips and social events.

Kit Officer 
Toby Antcliff (Civil Engineering)

"I joined ShUOC in my first year and have been enjoying it ever since. I like runs with a bit of a twist but not twisting my ankle, haha. When I'm not injured, you'll find me traversing the 5 mile radius round my house, trying to claim as many strava segments as possible."
Talk to him about: 
Ordering and buying kit.
