The new venue is Holmbush & Buchan Country Park, more convenient for most Southdowners, and indeed occasionally borrowed for SOGaloppens. Cheap entries are available online via Fabian4, and close on 8th January.

British Orienteering rules state that the club has a responsibility to ‘ensure that appropriate first aid is easily available’. Additionally BO states that the First aid cover must be appropriate to the level of the event. They list three options that can be considered:
to hire in professional first aid Support;
to make use of voluntary organisations such as st Johns Ambulance;
to use trained first aiders who are club members or coaches.
To this end I would like to put together a list of club members who are currently first aid trained and who are prepared to occasionally volunteer as an on-duty first aider for part of an event.
If you are interested please pass on your details including certificate expiry date if known using my contact on the Contact web page. Alternatively seek me out at the next SO event. Please also feedback any comments or ideas.
