2009 Xmas 5 Days

Well it wasn't the biggest Uringa Contingent ever but what the heck it was Christmas after all.



The 5 days was based around Mittagong. Only the second day was affected by the weather with rain and drizzle being standard for that day. the rest were pretty good for orienteering.



Dick Ogilvie was the overall coordinator of the event with Maureen his trusty side kick.

Now to results
