Please pass on the following information to all your
athletes.
Mark Hookway has contacted me to say that the
usual grass area off the exit drive is too wet for parking so parking
must be on the hard parking areas at the top of the site around the
school. Car sharing is also therefore advised. The refreshment area will
now be located off the exit drive in close proximity to where the
toilets are usually located. It is also advised that club tents be
erected in the same proximity to avoid access difficulties to and from
the lower field.

Videoing and Photography Statement
The Kent Cross Country
League does not require video recorders or camera users to register the use
of their recording equipment as the prolific use of personal tablets &
smartphones make this impractical to police. Mark Hookway and others
regularly video at our meetings. Should one of these videos or photographs
appear on a club website, YouTube or on other social media outlets you need
to contact them direct should you wish it removed.
At some meetings we have
press reporters and official championship photographers from whom you can
obtain photographs of athletes in competition.
Also within the competition
and medal presentation areas people authorized by KCAA may take photos for
publicity & promotional purposes, especially for our Website or Facebook
page. When entering these areas you need to be aware that it is assumed that
you are giving permission for such photographs to be taken. Should a photo
appear on our Website or Facebook page which you would like removed; please
contact the League Secretary.
Cross Country
running
through woodlands
When
running through woodlands there is always a risk of being bitten by tick’s
etc.; and therefore insect repellent containing DEET is a good idea.
Unfortunately if the tick is infected with
Lyme disease there is a possibility of
them passing
it
on
to runners.
If after
having been on a run you notice a
red circular rash around a bite mark;
examples can be found at

you may want to get it checked out sooner
rather than later.
