What a fantastic welcome in to the Summer Series 2004-2005. A lovely mild night with picturesque pink sunset and a park humming with people. Thank you, all of you, for coming along to make the night buzz. It was a real thrill to welcome back old friends from past summers, welcome new faces who we hope will soon be addicted to our sport, and, to see a great turn out of club orienteers fresh from the serious competition of area champs in the forest. It was especially pleasing to see a large number of younger folk out giving it a go. We do hope you all enjoyed a pleasant evening and look forward to seeing you all back, plus those that could not make it tonight, over the rest of the season. I apologise to those of you who had to queue for a while tonight. This is a temporary problem as it takes a little longer to sell the season tickets. However these make it so much easier for us during the season as there is no time wasted fishing for change – we can just hand over a map. Over 50 people purchased a ticket tonight which also delights us as you have signaled your intention to make these events a regular occurrence. Thanks for that. If any of you who came tonight decide you would like to buy a seasons pass next week, just tell those at registration and they will subtract what you paid this week from the cost. Apologies too to those who missed out on a course 3 or 4 map. We try very hard to err on the side of printing too many maps but every so often you catch us out. We will endeavour to not let that happen again.
Very warm thanks to course setter, Janice Little, and controller, Tom Clendon. Having been somewhat busy in the last little while with other orienteering commitments, it was really great be able to leave tonight’s event in their capable hands.
Next week the second event of the series will be starting in Nga Parae Mataora Reserve in Royal Oak, entered via Korma Rd, off Pah Road. Many of you may not have visited this new reserve around the old Pah Homestead. It is a delightful little area and the longer courses will make use of the surrounding streets and parks as well. It is again on a Tuesday, 16th November. After selecting the event centre for this event we discovered that the council have removed the carpark inside the park. This will probably mean some of you will need to park on Pah Road. This is a busy road on a week day evening so take care getting out of your vehicles. Alistair and I will not be with you next week – we will be thinking of you finding your way around the park while we relax in Tonga (well I will be relaxing while Alistair is working). Have a great week – we will see you again the following week at the Ellerslie race course.
Joanna and Alistair
