How will H5N1 avian flu affect orienteering???

BOF has been finding out...

I've just read that one as well. You can't say that they're not doing their research...

[Becks]

Ahem...and Mharky's title to this thread is exactly the kind of scaremongering we were trying to avoid with this document - a very level headed discussion about how BOF could be affected to help people think about contingency plans.

Did anyone catch Broken News on BBC2 last night (i think)
Pure class
brilliantly observed satire on modern TV news, including a major thread on Tomato Flu, which extended to an item from a reporter 'embeded' with the crew of the International space station:

"You might have though that being in space the risks were minimal but not so. Given that much of the food supply on the Space Station contains tomatoids - and no Melanie, thats not some kind of alien - we've been instructed not to eat 30% of it, which is quite a worry as we've already eaten 50%"

Sometimes I think there is a God,
and he must be British,

who else would have ensured that the only manifestation of bird flu in the UK has been a Dead Parrot.

Clearly not upset by the Life of Brian

That show was absolute brilliance!!!

To be fair it is totally accurate though!

Hmmm...

Orienteers are known for their meticulous observation and analysis, they tell me...

[Becks]

Well yes. You do have me on that one!

[PorkyFatBoy]

At least you won't have to kill the family pet chickens if it happens...hmm, must make sure Mrs PFB's life insurance is paid up.

If you know otherwise, maybe we'll have to start having M120 classes at events.
