Corps Team Captains please note the AOA needs to give BOK numbers of competitors on each course for the 1 Dec event in FOD by Sun 24 Nov so they can order maps for printing on Mon 25th. In order to do that we need to know how many teams each Corps plans to enter. With that in mind can all Corps please ensure they have declared the teams they plan to enter by 24 Nov, if entry has not been submitted by then please email allan@baoc.info with number of teams only, your full entry needs to be done and paid for by Mon 25 Nov as per the main IC Instruction, which is on the events page.
