Vaccination helps but does not completely stop the s
pread of the COVID-19 virus. Therefore, we will do our best to make this event as COVID safe as possible. F
or example, only one member of t
he team needs to come to registration. We would prefer you wear a mask at t
he admin tent although this is n
ot mandatory. Bring the completed indemnity forms for each member of the team already completed and signed.
This will avoid milling around rego and save you time! Maps, notes and Navlight tags will be handed out wi
th minimal touching.
