About KFO
Who are KFO?
Kingdom of Fife Orienteers (KFO) metamorphosed from West Fife Orienteers (WFO) in 2000, shortly after WFO's 21st birthday celebrations in 1999. As the new name suggests, we cover the whole of Fife, with members as far north as Gauldry, as far west as Dunfermline, as far east as Anstruther and as far south as Rossyth, and beyond.
WFO's first event was at Townhill woods, north of Dunfermline, in 1978. Despite being a small Club, we are regularly involved in the planning and organisation of local and major events.
Membership
Kingdom of Fife Orienteers is a growing club. Joining helps us tailor our events and training to meet your needs, and gives you a say over the direction of the club.
In common with other clubs in Scotland Membership of Kingdom of Fife Orienteers is available in two ways:
