Forest/Sprint WOC Proposal
The Irish Orienteering Association (IOA) will be present at the meeting and will vote either in favour or against the proposal. I am therefore seeking feedback from Squad Members on the proposal. The IOA will discuss it at committee at the beginning of July so I would like feedback by June 30th. The selection race weekend should also provide an opportunity for discussion of the topic.
I look forward to hearing your opinions, elite@orienteering.ie
