The COVID-19 situation has given us some time to reflect on how we run many of our smaller events.
ONSW would like now to start up a working group of volunteers experienced in running computers and registration at minor events.
The immediate aim of the working group would be to develop and implement procedures to ensure events can be held safely once the COVID-19 restrictions are eased. This includes:
* minimising contact with shared surfaces
* ensuring safe distancing
* each event having a list of attendees so contact tracing can occur quickly if needed
The working group could move onto more general improvements to help orienteering efficiency and to encourage greater participation. This could include freeing up volunteers, using the same procedures for registration at enter-on-day events and improving our marketing information for people new to orienteering.
If you are interested in leading or being part of this working group please contact Andrew Lumsden (
