Dear club members,
One of the ways in which British Orienteering is encouraging clubs to prepare for a return to orienteering is for us to set up an online pre-entry system and contactless entry-on-the-day payment for local events.
The club has a wealth of computing expertise and member Ian Watson has risen to the challenge by offering to design a pre-entry system that meets our needs for local events as well as the new challenges of operating the sport safely. The existing professional entry services will continue to be used for larger regional or national events.
A Zoom meeting will take place this Thursday eveningĀ to
introduce the proposed scheme and discuss system requirements. All
interested club members are welcome to attend and contribute
ideas.
Time: 8pm
Format: Presentation of model system followed by Q&A
