Entry Details

For entry fees, See Park-O page.

In order to ensure you get to run the course of your choice, we recommend that you pre-register to take part in this event, which you can do at WAOC entries at oentry.uk (Entries open one month before the event date).

You will be allocated a hire dibber, if you do not have one. No payment is required until you turn up for the event. Please bring a credit or debit card for payment. You can use the "Fast track" lane at registration if you have pre-registered and it makes life easier for us too.

You can also just turn up and enter on the day, but bear in mind it will take longer to process your entry. Please bring a credit or debit card for payment.

If you haven't been before, please read the information on our Park-O page so that you know what to do - we will have officials around to help if needed.

Registration and Start Times

Starts will operate between 1pm and 3pm.

Please note that courses close at 3:30pm. If you wish to do the long course, you need to start by 2:30pm, unless you have sufficient experience that you will be able to finish before 3:30pm.

Terrain and map details

Course maps will be A4 sized, printed on waterproof paper.   Take a look on the reverse side and you will find some helpful tips, and more information about Park-O and future events.

Toilets

There are public toilets situated near the paddling pool.

Privacy: 

WAOC process entrant information on the basis of legitimate interest to produce competition results, to provide participation and results information to British Orienteering, and we retain details for a period to meet our insurance requirements.  Published results may include (but not limited to) name, any club affiliation, race times and age group.

Taking Photographs:

In line with the policies of British Orienteering, the organisers of this event request that any person wishing to take photos or videos showing children should register their details with event volunteers before taking any such photos or videos. The event organisers reserve the right to ask people to refrain from taking photos or videos and may, if such warnings are ignored, refer the matter to the police.

Club's use of Images:

We may sometimes publish photographs of event participants in news items or publicity.  At events where we have arranged for photography we will advertise this at the event and in advance in the event details.  

We aim always to obtain the permissions of parent or responsible adult before we publish any picture showing a junior participant as the main focus. Although we cannot guarantee that an event photographer will not take photographs of any given individual, we will do our best to avoid publishing images of individuals who have told us they do not wish to be photographed.
