- That excellent magazine Focus ... ah no ... sorry.
- Orienteering in Wales, NI and IoM [remember non-Scotland does not equal England]
- Erm ... the BO Incentive Scheme is BO members only [my chief peeve with that scheme is that you have to have already committed to being a BO member to participate]
- Having your SI Card on the BO DataBase for swift registration at events
I presume you can compete in English/etc events in any case: you just might not be covered by the BO insurance.
BTW you might also ask what the incentive is for non-Scots to join BOF, I know at least one chap who's been orienteering for years and has never bothered joining.
