A Conference of Association and Club representatives will be held on Saturday, 20th October at The Studio in Birmingham.
Invitations to attend:
The Board would like to place the following items on the Agenda:
Associations and Clubs are also asked to raise strategic items or issues that you would like to be added to the agenda.
Any such requests should be sent for consideration to Peter Hart, Chief Executive (phart@britishorienteering.org.uk) by the end of September 2018.
Whilst it may not be feasible to add all such items to the agenda, those items that are of strategic importance and are common to several requests will be added.
Further details and papers for the Conference will be circulated as soon as they are drafted.
The above provides an outline and early notice of the Club and Association conference. Further details including the agenda and structure of the day will follow.
The venue is a short walk from Birmingham New Street rail station. More information on location and travel details can be found here
For registered delegates, the costs of the conference including refreshments and a light buffet lunch will be paid for by British Orienteering.
All members are invited to attend and we would encourage as many as possible to come along and have your say!
As in previous years, we also encourage clubs and associations to nominate two chosen representatives to represent their views. Clubs and Association chairs or secretaries must confirm the names of the two delegates attending on behalf of their club or association by completing and returning the registration form to info@britishorientering.org.uk. This will register their attendance and these club and association delegates will be eligible to have a contribution to their expenses paid by British Orienteering (contributions will be as per below criterion).
All other members are very much encouraged to attend; however, any expenses will need to be covered by the individual, club or association depending on individual arrangements.
Where the total round trip to and from the conference venue exceeds 150 miles, British Orienteering will meet the costs of half of the mileage that exceeds 150 miles (at British Orienteering’s standard rates). Here are examples:
British Orienteering will meet half of the cost of the cheapest standard class return plane/train ticket after deducting £30.
As an example, a delegate whose rail ticket costs £50 could claim 0.5 x £20 (£50-£30) i.e. £10 from British Orienteering, with the rest to be met by the delegate or the delegate’s club or association.
