The Scottish 6 Days is coming to Deeside in 2025..Make sure that you have the dates of the Scottish 6 Days in 2025 in your diary – 27th July to 1st August 2025.
This is a great opportunity to be involved in the planning, controlling or organising the event and build on your experience. There have been difficulties in securing access due to landowner and wildlife restrictions. Now that access has been secured it is vital that we get people into key roles as soon as possible.
The Scottish 6 Days is an incredibly important event in terms of funding and reputation for Scottish Orienteering. This event we have employed an Event Co-ordinator, Nic Crossley, who has an events background but we really need the support of the orienteering community to support her as she delivers the event. There are three types of roles that we need to fill as soon as possible – club day officials, controllers and position on the central organising team . The current allocation of days, areas and clubs is proposed as follows
Clubs have been asked to put forward names of those who would be interested in being involved. You may have been asked already but if you wish to be involved in a planning or organising or assistant controller role, please make sure that you have told your club of your interest as soon as possible. The assistant controller is normally recruited by one of the organising clubs for the day.
If you are interested in being a lead controlling, please remember that controllers can not come from one of the organising cubs on that date. Please let Nikki Howard know if you are interested in controlling nikki@scottish-orienteering.org.
As in some previous years the Central Organising Team will be made up of orienteers from across Scotland. There are a number of roles which remain to be filled including There is also a need for volunteers to act as Day Co-ordinator, Treasurer, Trader Co-ordinator, Event Centre Manager, Merchandising, Information, String course Co-ordinator, Equipment Co-ordinator and Social Co-ordinator. Please let Richard Oxlade know if you are interested or want further information president@scottish-orienteering.org
Responses would be appreciated as soon as possible.
