COVID: Please do not come to the event if you have symptoms of Covid-19, or suspect you may have it.
The car park should have enough space to allow anyone - that wants to - to continue with social distancing...

Safety:

A first aid kit will be available with the organiser at the "map issue" car. Club first aiders will be at the event.
Competitors take part at their own risk. Once you have started a course it is a rule that you don't leave the event without reporting that you have returned even if you retire.

A Competitor Safety Slip can be downloaded here and brought to registration if you wish to leave medical or emergency contact details. You may place it in a sealed envelope. The slip will be only accessible to the organiser or first aiders and will be destroyed after the event.
