Another celebration of Australian-Swiss relations



Callan Park CATI and Schools Final






The perfect Sydney early spring day saw a good turn out of Uringans to run a Come-and-try-it together with the Schools series final under the direction of Jan Sargood. There are always jobs to do for both the unskilled and the skilled, and it's a good chance to get to know club members and how orienteering works.

NSW Champs

For those who stayed at home and missed the NSW Champs at Tumbarumba you certainly missed a great event. Whilst the weather was very chilly and we were indeed fortunate to be in the cars heading for Tumbarumba when a large storm hit, flooding roads and making driving a little interesting.
The get together at the pub great although Sarah's lamb cutlets were just plain crumby. Mind you we indulged in a very nice bottle or two of local red...

Anyway the Burngoogee maps are good running and certainly had a more than one trick up their sleeve to catch the unwary punter.
