The Scottish Orienteering 6-Day Event Co Ltd is seeking a Coordinator for Lochaber 2021. The Coordinator (not necessarily from the same club as the Central Organising Team) will play a key role in the successful delivery of the event, through the coordination of a team of volunteers and paid-for services as appropriate.
We are also seeking a club or clubs to come forward as the main Central Organisers. The management and running of the event is delegated to the Central Organising Team. This Central Organising Team is led by the Coordinator, and is supported by the Events Manager of the Scottish Orienteering Association who is appointed as Assistant Coordinator.
Ideas for a logo are also welcome - we have some fantastic areas in mind, including new terrain never previously used for orienteering.
