To help all aspiring athletes, parents and coaches understand how the GBR teams are selected for Foot O international competitions, Bob Dredge, the chair of both the senior and junior selection panels, is giving an online presentation.
The presentation will be on Monday 18th March from 19:30-20:30.
The presentation will cover the process of how selections are made. There will be the opportunity to ask any questions. To maximise the time we have for questions, it is assumed that all attendees have read the Foot O selection policy beforehand.

We are thrilled to officially partner with Revive Active to support our orienteering community throughout all levels.
Coming on board as Official Supplement Supplier to the Senior GB squad, the athletes will be supported by the range of products on offer to help them train, perform and recover during the 2024-5 season.
If you are heading to the JK Festival make sure you visit the Revive tent on Day 3 to try out the products for yourself, and if you're lucky enough - you may be taking home some Revive goodies, thanks to kind sponsorship of Days 2 and 3.
Kay Hawke, Partnerships Manager - A key component of our partnership, is that Revive have shown that they are dedicated to supporting our whole membership - whether it's sponsorship of our Senior Squad, major events, member discount codes or future community-based work. It is clear from our discussions that we share the same passion for what being outdoors and active can do for somebody's wellbeing. Their sponsorship of our GB Squad will enable us to ensure that our athletes are prepared in the best possible way in which is an exciting year ahead for our sport and we are looking forward to what 2024 can bring from our work together.

The British Orienteering National Office made the most of the glorious World Orienteering Day weather and ran a fun Xplorer event around the grounds of the Head Office at Scholes Mill in Tansley, near Matlock in their lunch hour today.
Natalie Weir and Tim Herod from the Development Team set up the course and enjoyed doing their utmost to get as many people from around the industrial estate to come out on their lunchbreak and give orienteering a go.
A Careport employee who came and had a go, said: “I didn’t think that I would enjoy orienteering as much as I have today. It was nice to get out of the office for a while. I would definitely take part again.”
