Event Description
👋Come along to our first Club Meet at Woodburn
🗺For coach led training for all ages and abilities and time to socialise!
👍Club Meets are a new LVO initiative brought about from the request by members to have opportunities for training and coaching to help improve our skills in a social way.
We will all meet, start and finish at the same location but the training will take place in smaller groups. Groups will be organised into people with the same level of technical ability and will each have a dedicated coach (and possibly a coaching assistant depending on size of group).
Coaching will be organised into three groups – Technical Difficulty (TD)1/2 (White-Yellow), TD3 (Orange) and TD4/5 (Light Green and above).
📝Sign-up online HERE. Please register before midnight Tuesday 7 November.
💰Cost will be £2 per map for TD3 and TD4/5. TD1/2 will be free. Payment will be on the day in cash.
⏰Meet-up time will be 10.30am for 11am start, with coaching taking place until 12.30pm.
Parking and Facilities
🚗Woodburn Presbyterian Church have kindly allowed us to use their car park for parking.
🥪From 12.30pm-2pm the church hall is also open for us to enjoy a tea/coffee and socialise afterwards – you are invited to bring along a packed lunch.
🚽Toilets are available beside the hall.
All NIOA members are welcome to attend. Non-members are also welcome to attend but after 3 sessions will be expected to join a club.
❗NOTE: New members can join up from 1st November and get the last 2 months of 2023 free in addition to the annual 2024 membership!
Kit
Full body cover is mandatory. Juniors should carry a whistle. Bring a compass if you use and have one. Dibbers are not required.
If the weather is cold or wet – a waterproof jacket will be mandatory.
As well as times of exercise there will be periods of coaching when you will be stationary, so layer up – bring along a hat and gloves to keep comfortable.
There is likely to be a bag drop off point with a coach present or close by. NOTE: the club or coach is not responsible for the safe keeping of the kit, it is dropped off at your own risk, so please leave any valuables in the car.
