Heaps of orienteering in the weeks ahead – details below!
Tonight heralded the end of the Summer Series for another year. Thank you all for coming along and making it such a successful season. Tonight your courses where set by 2 year 10 secondary school girls, Kate and Lydia. Thanks very much for the great courses, and thanks also to Catherine for her assistance. With our junior members making such a big contribution the sport has a sound future. Talking of young ones, I think a record was set tonight. A ten year old young lady, Julia, went out and tackled course 1 entirely on her own. She had intended to do course 2 but was given the wrong map so continued on regardless. Unfortunately fading light got the better of her with just a small number of controls left to do but she very nearly managed the whole course. That was a fantastic effort – watch out elite women!!
If you did not pick up a calendar at the event tonight be sure to watch your emails and the website as there is a very busy calendar of events coming up with the start of the Sunday forest events just around the corner. This is the orienteering that most of us are really hooked on so if you have enjoyed your evenings in the parks, do make the effort to come and give the forest a go. There will be plenty of help available. As a gentle start this Sunday the event is in Totara Park, Hill Rd, Manurewa with starts 10.00-12:30. The following Sunday, 25th is the first of the score events, in Weiti forest, off East Coast Bays Rd. This event has a mass start at 11.00am, with maps handed out at 10.50. You will need to be there no later than 10.30 to get organised in time. Parents who want split starts can begin before 10.00am. Please note, the second score event, on May 6th has had a change of venue to Shank's Pony on Peak Rd Kaukapakapa.
April 1st sees the first of the Woodhill events for the year (entry along Rimmer Rd off SH 16). Starts from 10.00 to 12.30. There will be a coaching session for all wanting to improve their forest orienteering skills after your run, commencing about 1.30. It would be good if you could give us an indication if you wish to attend this coaching so we have an idea of numbers.
For those still wanting to fill their week night evenings you only need to wait until 5th May for the start of our first winter street series, this year culminating on the 4th night with a 3 hour night rogaine – details closer to the time.
We will be sending you an email next week to find out which events you wish to receive emails about so please watch for this and respond so we can get everyone on the correct list. If you'd like to give us some feedback about the summer series we have a form available. Download it, fill it out and send it back and be in a lucky dip draw to win an MTA $20 petrol voucher.
Looking forward to meeting in the forest!!
