Another Summer Series has drawn to a close. It seems to have been a very successful one. Of course that depends on what you use to measure success. We are interested in the numbers coming and repeat attenders as that indicates a level of enjoyment. The weather was just wonderful all year – a real plus. We’ve had great course setters and controllers so all in all it has been a great season. Fifteen day events plus two night events makes a comprehensive season. A real measure of success is if some of our park orienteers decide to come and give forest orienteering (our real love) a go. – How about it this Sunday!!??
Thank you very much tonight to Alina Smirnova who set the great courses tonight – it helps though to be living on the park boundary?? Also thanks to Mervyn who decided to do a night event and collect in almost all the controls after dark (and Nicola who almost got left in the dark).
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The latest start time for THIS SUNDAY’S Summer Series Forest event has been extended from 12:30 to 1:30 PM (and even slightly later if necessary), with course closure at 3.30. This is to allow those who run in Round-the-Bays to come up and run an orienteering event too! Also the secondary schools mountain bike event will have finished in time for a quick dash to the orienteering. Even if you are doing one of these other events, do come along orienteering afterwards. The event is on the Whose Game map – enter the forest via Restall Rd. (Take the NW motorway from Auckland and at the end continue on, on State Highway 16, through Kumeu and Waimauku. Five km after Waimauku, Restall Rd goes off to the left. Watch for O signs from Waimauku on. The route through the forest to the map will be well sign posted. Start times 10am (Standard time not Daylight saving time) till 1:30pm (or bit later if necessary). Everyone is very welcome – there are courses to suit all. Help will be gladly given to anyone who asks. Our agreement with Carter Holt Harvey to use the forest now means that we all have to sign a waiver to enter the forest – you can down load this form from www.orienteeringauckland.org.nz and have it ready when you get to the gate or you can get a form at the gate and sign it there.
The final Summer Series Forest event will be on April 17th, also in Woodhill, so make sure that is also marked down on your calendar.
Now that the Summer Series is over we are starting up our “winter” (surely not) training evenings. We start next Tuesday evening, 6pm at the grandstand in the Domain. This is running training for all levels and ages. There will be a wide range of abilities and so someone to run with. There might even be some interval training for those wanting to sharpen up for the nationals – (bit late me thinks). Just come along and join in the group congregating by the grandstand.
Remember – Orienteering THIS SUNDAY, WOODHILL FOREST with starts until at least 1.30PM
