Tonbridge KNC 5

KNC Event Safety: Permanent Registration card

To help establish what has happened, if a competitor is not accounted for, some key details are needed for each competitor.

For KNC events we plan the following:-

At the first KNC that they attend, each person is requested to complete a registration card with the following:-

Surname, First name

Dibber number

Club, M/W & Date of birth,

Contact phone numbers (own Mobile and Home, and ‘next of kin’)

Medical conditions the Organiser should be aware of

Registration number(s) of any vehicle(s) they might come in.

Home address (ideally) or home town

Note: the card only needs to be completed once. The cards will be kept in an index box, and this box will be passed from one KNC to the next.

I will bring blank cards to the Tonbridge KNC plus an example showing how it should be filled-in.

Registration is indoors, so this is a good opportunity to get this underway.

 

Please get in touch with me, if you have any concerns or queries about this.

Explanation of Score courses

You don't have to visit all the controls! There is usually a time limit, instead of a set course. Points are scored for visiting controls, and deducted for finishing over the time limit. You decide which controls to visit, and in which sequence. Sometimes controls have different points values. You will need to carry a watch or phone, so you know how long you have been out.
