 es hands-free by strapping them to the same feature as the control flag, mo
 unted perpendicular to the feature and ready to use without needing to touc

  the navlight flashes in the usual way.</li></ul><p><strong>COVID Safety Pl

 register on the “Check in Canberra” app. There will be QR code posters loca

  at registration.</li><li aria-level="2">Only <strong>one</strong> represen
 tative per team is permitted to come into the Hall to register the team, to
  show their first aid kit, provide the teams indemnity forms and to collect
  wristbands, tags and maps.&nbsp;</li><li aria-level="2">When coming into t
 he Hall, we are asking the team representative to hand sanitise and wear a 
 face mask. We will provide these at the entry to the Hall if you have not b
 rought your own.</li><li aria-level="2">To restrict numbers in the Hall, it
  will not be available for competitors for planning or shelter, even if it’
 s raining. The <a href="http://www.bom.gov.au/act/forecasts/canberra.shtml"
 >weather forecast</a> looks very pleasant.</li></ul><p><strong>Indemnity Fo
