12th November 2024: a great turn out for Ellan Wood this evening, where we had a bright moon and greta conditions for running. Many were practicing their skills before the first of the Norgthern Night Cup events.
That's a wrap for Tuesday=O for a wee while, probably until about February / March 2025. This is because there are Northern Night Cup events, holidays and the prospect of poor weather during the winter months.
There are some other things happening - Northern Night Cup 1 at Church Wood on Wednesday 20th November (enter by Sunday 17th November evening), training with FVO on Saturday 30th November (contact Janette), Club Champs (all welcome) on Sunday 1st December, BASOC Coaching session on Sunday 15th December (details to come soon) and a Social / training / AGM on Sunday 19th January 2025.
If you have particular training skills you would like to work on, please let Lynne know as soon as possible.
Important safety and Covid related information
Please bring your own "comfort kit" - midge repellent, tick remover, sticking plasters and anything else that you might occasionally borrow from others. First aid will be provided only in extreme circumstances. Please also ensure you have with you any necessary medication.
You should not attend the training if you are showing any symptoms of Covid 19. The training will be managed to take account of Scottish Government & SOA guidelines.
Tuesday=O volunteers needed!
Suzanne is taking on the task of finding volunteers to lead activities throughout the year including the regular Tuesday evening training sessions. If you are willing to help out at training at some point during the year, then please get in touch with Suzanne directly via the Volunteer Coordinator link on the Contacts page of the BASOC website.
There are lots of things that would help the club including just being willing to organise a social get-together occasionally, so don’t worry if you’re not an expert orienteering planner! If you’d like to organise something just get in touch.
You can see the tasks - and who has already signed up for a task - in Sharing T=O tasks v2.
