Its hard to believe that yet another summer has wound itself to an end, and with it the Summer Series. Thanks to you all for coming along and making it such a success. A special thanks for those who even showed on the couple of questionable nights making the work of the course setters and controllers worth while. It was no hardship to be out enjoying the lovely evening tonight, though, especially if you were up on the hill to see the sunset. On nights like tonight it does not seem possible that the summer has finished but by next week our lovely long evenings have gone. There is plenty of orienteering to come, though, both in and outside the city. Close to home we are planning 2 short series of week-night street events which we trialled last year. I am afraid we do not have their dates finalised as yet but the first set is likely to be in May and the second in September. Also in the city will be a series of Park sprint events, probably latish on Saturday afternoons. These will probably be in June or July and will consist of short courses intended to be won in about 12-15 minutes. We may even look to have some prizes for this series any offers to sponsor??? Before any of these, however, there is plenty of action taking place in the forest on Sundays. Most of us feel this is where the fun really is to be had so if you have yet to give the forest a go, do come and give it a try. This Sunday (19th) we are in Woodhill Forest and are starting later so you can do your run Round the Bays before coming to the forest starts between 11.00am and 2.00pm, gate open from 10.30am. Entry via Restall Rd (forest headquarters), off SH16 about 10 minutes north of Waimauku. There will be a training session starting at 2.00pm for all interested in improving their skills, suitable for both inexperienced and those looking to hone their skills for the Nationals. The next Sunday (26th) is the GREAT DAY O. This is an event with a difference!! There are only red courses available ie the courses will be difficult, but more than that they are LONG. Course 1 is 31.2km with 120 controls and 3 map changes!!! The shortest course is Course 4 at a modest 6.7km. This is a pre entry event ie you MUST let us know you are coming. Officially entries closed yesterday but if you feel this event is just for you we are still accepting entries (entry form on the AOC website). April 2nd sees an event at Totara Park and 9th April the 3rd of the Summer Forest events in Woodhill. We then have the Nationals in Nelson at Easter (entries close 24th) and 23rd April sees the 4th of the Summer Forest events in Woodhill. And so it goes on throughout winter!!!!!! Another different event on the horizon is the 2 days of events on 27/28th May being organized as a fundraiser for our Junior orienteering team off to the Junior World Champs in Lithuania. On the Saturday there is a 3 hour Rogaine, and on Sunday, for those of you who prefer orienteering while sitting down there is a Mountain Bike orienteering event more about these events in the future.
For those of you not wanting to do anything until next Summer, have a great winter and we look forward to meeting up again in November for the rest of you if will be great to see you at some of the different events coming up. We will shortly send out an email asking whether you want to keep hearing about the upcoming events or want to not hear from us again until next summer.
