To join Wimborne Orienteers you can now join online via the British Orienteering Website,  specifying 'WIM' as your club and ticking the box for National membership or Local memberships or by downloading and completing a membership form. Membership includes a payment to  Wimborne Orienteers (WIM) and membership of the South West Orienteering Association (SWOA), which is free for club members. The total for 2025 is as follows: 

If you are not a member of an orienteering club, you may compete as an independent (IND), but after three events you are recommended to become a member of British Orienteering, otherwise you will not be covered by the Federation's Public Liability Insurance cover. British Orienteering's public liability insurance covers members competing at events.
Non-members may find themselves paying a surcharge on their race entry fee.

The Wimborne Orienteers catchment area is located next to the regional boundary of SWOA with the South Central OA (SCOA), and most members frequently compete in events run by clubs in SCOA. As a result of this situation, the club suggests that most members join as National members.
