Combatting Global Warming
In the ongoing attempt to encourage orienteers to further reduce our carbon footprint, STAG offered the following incentives to you.
1. Use of public transport or cycling or other
STAG offered individual(s) £6 off their block entry fee* for our January 2024 Winter Score Events.
The individual concerned had to send an email to info@stag-orienteering.co.uk after the Event with details and a discount code was supplied once the Winter Scores go live on SI Entries in early December 2023.
2. Travel by Minibus
For a Club organising such for their members with 9 or more travelling within the hired vehicle, STAG reimbursed to Their Club Funds 50% of the Entry Fees* paid by the occupants of the minibus. It was then up to your Club to decide what to do with this money. Payment once bank details received from you on application.
The Minibus driver had to send an email to info@stag-orienteering.co.uk after the Event and list the names of those who travelled by minibus.
3. Travelling in a vehicle with 3 or more occupants
STAG offered to each of the occupants of a qualifying vehicle, £3 off their block entry fee* for our 2024 Winter Score Events provided entry is made by the deadline shown above.
The car driver was then supplied with a discount code to use / pass on to each individual which expired on the day when Early Bird entries closed.
* After Si Entries admin charge, BOF and SOA levies have been subtracted.
STAG members could claim either Helpers or Green allowance but not both.
