Sydney clubs pioneer electronic pay-on-the-day

Last Updated: Monday, 24 October 2016 13:02

Technology marches on in orienteering - and some of our clubs are now accepting electronic payment on the day.

Big Foot successfully trialled it at Ski-O at Perisher in August and will do so again at Wednesday's SSS at Sydney Olympic Park. (Big Foot are also offering pre-entry via Eventor at last year's prices ($10 for adults) - provided you register by 10am.)

Garingal tested Paywave at Sunday's Southern SSS event at Clovelly and reported no hiccups, and Bold Horizons have been offering e-payment this term in the SOS.

Cashless payment means orienteers don't need to hunt around for money on the day, and offers a vastly reduced cash handling risk for organisers. We encourage all clubs to discuss this payment method with our pioneers listed above.
