Hi, John

 

Set out below is an email that we have prepared to publicise Lakeland OC’s Proposal to the British Orienteering AGM. Could you possibly forward it to other orienteers who you think may be interested in supporting this Proposal?

 

Best wishes

 

Dick

 

May we draw your attention to the Proposal on Map Scales at Level A and B Events, which Lakeland OC has submitted to the British Orienteering AGM, to be held at Swansea University on 18^th April. The AGM Papers have recently been circulated by email.

 

This Proposal has been put forward in order to delegate to planners and controllers of Level A and B events the responsibility for deciding whether specified map enlargements are provided to competitors at events on particularly complex, intricately contoured terrain.

 

The full Proposal, together with the Supporting Statement and responses from the Board and the Events and Competitions Committee, is set out in the AGM Booklet. The Proposal and Supporting Statement can also be found at http://www.lakeland-orienteering.org.uk/map-scales-agm-proposal

 

If you cannot be present at the AGM, may we encourage you to cast your vote by proxy. A Proxy Voting Form and the Proxy Voting Instructions are attached to this email. If you wish to support the Proposal, we would suggest that you compete Parts A and C of the Form, Part A to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your Proxy and Part C to instruct him how to cast your vote. You may alternatively appoint any other member of British Orienteering to be your Proxy, but, if that person fails to be present at the AGM, your Proxy Vote will not be cast.

 

Proxy Voting Forms must be returned to the British Orienteering office by post or by email, to arrive no later than 5pm on Wednesday 16^th April. If you wish to return the form by email, you have to complete it, then scan it and attach it to an email to info@britishorienteering.org.uk. The postal address is Company Secretary, British Orienteering, 8a Stancliffe House, Whitworth Road, Darley Dale, Matlock, DE4 2HJ.

 

Remember that all individual members of British Orienteering, who will be at least 18 years old on 31^st December 2014, have one vote.

 

Best wishes
