SLOW was founded in 1976, when it was merged with the existing club Nutfielders OK. This former club is still remembered in the name of SLOW's annual premier orienteering race, the OK Nuts Trophy, which has been held annually since 1977.

The club organises a large number of events throughout the year, including orienteering races, training days, evening street events, and cross-country type fell races. Additionally, there are a large number of orienteering events staged all over the south-east run by other clubs, which SLOW members regularly compete at.
