Thanks very much to our setter and controller for tonight, Sandra Toppin and Clive Bolt. Sandra did a great job in preparing the maps too and it was very sad that she had to dash off early as her step-father had a heart attack while driving and was admitted to hospital. Sandra, we are all thinking of you and your family and hope your step-father is recovering quickly.
We had 4 controls taken by the time we tried to collect them tonight (and one other behind a security fence – fortunately the fence had a hole in it). We’re sorry if you tried to find any of these controls when they weren’t there. We try to get out and replace them if we hear about them vanishing in reasonable time, as we did with one tonight, but often we don’t hear until it is too late, so you just have to be confident you’ve been to the right place. We’re very sorry it happens both for your sake and for ours as we loose another piece of equipment. Last week the problem was a gate that we organized to be open in EGGS. The grounds manager was really helpful and ensured it was open but another person passed by, realized the gate was always kept closed so helpfully closed it. The manager was very upset when he realized and passed on his apologies, but these things are always going to happen in events around town – we do our best to minimize them but rely on your flexibility too.
Coming Events:
Next summer series is at the Auckland Domain next Tuesday (14th *** Valentines Day ***). We start in the vicinity of the band rotunda.
This Saturday (Feb 11th) there is an endurance run (and other things) event in Riverhead forest for teams and (very fit) individuals. Go to www.moromadness.co.nz to read all about it.
We’re getting close to our first Summer Series Forest event. This event is on Sunday 26th February in Woodhill Forest, accessed from Rimmer Rd. It is, however, possible that the forest may be closed because of fire risk – the only reason we ever call an event off. This could happen right at the last minute so please keep an eye on your email and check the club website before this event. First time forest orienteers, we will have vouchers at the remaining summer series events entitling you to a free run at one of the summer series forest events – ask for one at registration.
First Summer Series Night event – Monday, 20th February, at Ambury Park, Mangere. Starts from dusk, about 8.15, for youngsters. From dark for others (about 9.00pm). Don’t forget a torch!!! These events are great fun – mark it on your calendar NOW. There are BBQ’s by the event centre so come along a bit early, have a picnic and be there all ready to go when the light fades. Club orienteers, this is your chance to warm up for the night relays in Taupo,11th March – get your entry for Taupo into your club rep.
And yet another event – have you got your entry in for the Urban Safari on March 17th? Part of the Trans Tasman Masters Games. Checking out the details on the North West Orienteering club web site at www.geocities.com/nwocnz
What a lot of things happening!! See you Next Tuesday in the Domain!!
