One hour Odds/Evens Score event, as per WNL guidelines. 28 controls to collect. Control Descriptions will be printed on map and can also be collected at the Start . N.B. Juniors under 16 MUST be accompanied by an adult (over 18). Punching start outside the Nadder Centre. Hired EMIT cards can be picked up in the Foyer of the Nadder Centre. Turn up for your allocated slot time, ready to run; those with their own EMIT card can go straight to the Start; otherwise collect your E card and go to the Start. Sign in with the Start marshal & go! Everyone must report to Download (in the Nadder Centre) afterwards. Please observe distancing whilst doing this.

Conduct
Please make yourself aware of and abide by the British Orienteering Participant Code of Conduct. Key considerations include: we advise the use of facemasks when speaking with people outside your family bubble;

Acting as an ambassador of the sport of orienteering at all times and considering how your actions may appear in the eyes of landowners or members of the public;

Observing social distancing at all times; leave after your race (unless you are helping to collect in controls!)

Use your own hand sanitizer on arrival and departure.

Please limit your time at the event to a minimum to avoid unnecessary contact with others.

Times
Arrival times: - 18.00 to 18.45 - sign in with the Start marshal. There is no Registration as such. The Organiser will be at the Start if you have any queries.

Starts: - 18.15 to 19.00. Adequately spaced queue is mandatory. Control Descriptions will be available at the Start. Please do not crowd around the Start control - Start, take a map and depart.

Course closes: - promptly at 20:15 please. Control collectors clean hands and come to the Planner near the Nadder entrance at 20.00 - 20.15, please.

Facilities
Toilets will be available in the Nadder Centre - please try to avoid other people moving about in the Centre; Limited First Aid only - be prepared to self administer. No Refreshments or water at the event, so please bring your own. The Boot pub is just down the hill - very little parking outside!

Safety
All competitors must wear hi-viz tops & have sufficient lights to complete their course (take a spare!). A whistle is advisable. This is an Odds/Evens Score event with 28 controls - the points values are printed on the map. Under 16 year olds MUST be accompanied by an adult .

Dogs

Timing System
EMIT brikkes with gripples. Gel will be available at the Start and by the hired cards.

On the Course
This is not a touch free event as such - but please try not touch the controls unnecessarily. Be aware of other competitors and other users. Keep your distance at all times. Give way at controls, be patient.

Finish and Download
After punching at the Finish please make your way to Download. There's no need to rush, just gather your thoughts, think "social distance" and get your breath back. When you get to Download, sanitize your hands, remove your tag from your finger. Place your brikke onto the Download unit on the table. Take your splits print and drop your hired brikke into the crates. Make your way back to your car. Have a safe journey home.

Results
Results and Routegadget will be available via Racesignup and later on the Club website, hopefully by late Tuesday or Wednesday.

Risk
Orienteering is an adventure sport; you are responsible for your own safety at the event and must not do anything that puts yourself or others at unnecessary risk.
