Next week: Tuesday (Ambury) AND Thursday (night event, Craigavon) plus park event Sunday, Rangitoto College - see below for details
We were very nearly caught out tonight by the great turn out – we were down to our last map on course 3. The rain in the middle of the day did not deter you all and you showed in great numbers for what turned out to be a very pleasant evening. Thanks very much Alina and Dougal for great courses – there were many lengthy discussions about which route people had chosen on the numerous very good route choice legs. Really good to see so many cubs, scouts, guides and secondary school competitors too, many getting along at a fine pace.
There is a busy week of orienteering ahead as we unfortunately are fast approaching the end of daylight saving and therefore the end of this years Summer Series events (not that there is not plenty of other orienteering to come later in the year, both in the forest on weekends, and in the parks). This Sunday there is another of the NW club park and sprint events at Rangitoto College – starts between 1.00 and 3.00pm. I have heard great reports about the special children’s course too – if you have little ones I believe this should not be missed!
The next Summer series event (second to last for the season) is next TUESDAY (6th March) back at Ambury Park (at the end of Ambury Rd, follow the signs from the Mangere Bridge motorway exit). For those of you who came to the night event there last Saturday, you can come and see how much easier it is in the daylight, and for the rest of you, do come and see this lovely area – one of the most pleasant maps to orienteer on. Your course setter has some special surprises in store for you, including a course 0 – somewhat longer than the usual course 1, so those of you who like some distance, make sure you don’t miss this event (and try and arrive not too late as the nights are starting to close in).
But that’s not all!! On THURSDAY, 8th March, is the second and final of our REAL NIGHT events. This will be on Craigavon Park, Connaught St, Blockhouse Bay with starts for those who don’t want it too dark from around 8.30, others about 9.00pm. These are fun events so BRING A TORCH (with fresh batteries) and come and give it a go – club members, this is your last chance for a bit of practice before the not to be missed night relay champs at Taupo on the 10th. (make sure you have told your club you are coming as entries and now due).
Finally, prior warning of our FINAL SUMMER SERIES FOR 2006-2007. This will be on the favourite of all maps, One Tree Hill on THURSDAY 15th March. For those wanting something extra I believe there will be a contours only course, and there will be the second of our coaching sessions for those new comers wanting to learn a few more techniques to help them move into orienteering in more challenging terrain. This will be again run by David, our club coach, starting at 7.15, after your run.
