There will be an Event Safety Workshop on Sat 3rd Oct. This is a requirement for anyone organising or controlling an event of Level C and above and may be of interest to planners or as a refresher if you have previously attended such a workshop.

Timing expected to be morning. Venue tbc but aiming for Eastleigh. Please contact Di Smith to register your place.

Don't forget tonight's odds and evens street event in Titchfield - see SOC events and activities for details. Also the added attraction of the Beer And Sausage Festival in The Wheatsheaf pub afterwards.

If you have organised and planned an event, you may want to consider applying to be an event controller. You first need to attend a Level C controller’s course, which will provide you with an overview of the role and responsibilities of a Level C controller.  In addition, the course will help you to understand what the British Orienteering rules, appendices and guidelines include, particularly those that apply to Level C and D events. The next course in our area will take place on Saturday 3rd October at Moors Valley Country Park in Dorset. The course is free to attend. Further details can be found in the attachment.
