Helpers Required!

Orienteering is a sport run by orienteers. Events are put on by volunteers.

So we encourage all club members to get involved in helping when SLOW puts on events. If we don’t get people to help, the events won’t take place! We need key event roles (Planner, Organiser, SportIdent Manager) and helpers are also required on the day. Most helpers also run in the event.

Please contact the event organiser before the event if you want to offer to volunteer at a particular event. Early sign up is much appreciated.

Roles include meet and greet, start helper, finish helper. For events using SI control units, helpers are needed for putting these out beforehand and collecting them after the event. For Street-O events, helpers are needed for marking the cluesheets.

You are also welcome to contact other officials to ask about or discuss doing something for the club. There are coordinators for the three series (Street-O , Night-O , Park Race ) The fixtures secretary is .

Please subscribe to the club mailing list to receive notifications of upcoming events and calls for help.
