Judy and Roger Craddock continue on why they feel Alasdair deserves recognition:
Alasdair Shaw:
Alasdair is there anything you are particularly proud of that you would like British Orienteering to shine a spotlight on?
Alasdair, comments:
"Keeping up activity and sense of belonging amongst club members during Lockdowns – virtual courses and events where allowed, virtual LEJOG, Missing Maps Project.
Increasing the club's social media presence, revamping the website, and introducing an email service for newsletters and other information.
Updating the policies and procedures (unglamorous but essential).
Developing a range of resources to help planners, organisers and controllers – instructional videos, online junior planners course.
Experimenting with new pathways into orienteering and new ways of orienteering – events aimed at attracting trail runners, GPS and QR activities."
Your volunteering journey and motivations. We know there is so much more to each volunteer than the things that they have done, how did you get in to volunteering and why aree you stay involved as a volunteer?
Alasdair, says: "I find it rewarding being part of a team working to provide opportunities for people to go orienteering.
I also enjoy introducing new people to the sport."
British Orienteering would like to take this opportunity to thank you Alasdair for all you do within your club and for the sport of orienteering.
British Orienteering would like to take this opportunity to say a big "THANK YOU" to all volunteers within our sportand for for what you do; committee members, coaches, planners, controllers, tea-makers, car-parking stewards, mappers, organisers, volunteers who put out controls, volunteers who collect back in the controls after an event......the list goes on!
You are the lifeblood of our sport. You are at the heart and soul of orienteering - and make it happen week after week. There so many roles which are all important. However you contribute to our sport of orienteering, British Orienteering wants to take this opportunity during National Volunteers' Week to say Thank You!
