State Leagues 1 & 2

In what could best be described as perfect running weather State Leagues 1 & 2 were a great success. Just over 200 runners each day took on courses set by our very own Lisa (Saturday) and Nick Dent on Sunday.

The events were run by Uringa and Central Coast combined. We done good! In fact there wre so many helpers that Ian Jones missed out on collecting controls on day 2.
Well there was a slight hiccup with a problem with si units at the start. After a lengthy postmortem it is more than likely that PEBCAK was the source of the error.
Never the less it was fortunate that there were a few cool heads around as there were a few "Henny Penny's" in the start area.

Saturday afternoon saw a gathering to celebrate a significant birthday for Dave McKenna. (Check out the age class he chose to run for a guide on the birthday).
It was almost by magic that a few scrumptious cakes made it onto the table at the finish. These were quickly devoured by the hungry horde.

Snowy Greetings

It's been a while since we left Sydney in search of a cold winter. And we really enjoyed Xmas and Feb holidays in the mountains with downhill and cross-country skiing. But now we start to miss the sun again ....


Our orienteering club (OLV Lucerne) will host the third leg of the tour-o-swiss just a few km away from our home! And while checking the list of registered participants we where very excited to find the names of at least 7 uringa orienteers. There may even be more as the closing date for registration is still up-coming. We are really looking forward to meet the uringa squad in switzerland. Even with a tight TOS schedule we hope to find some time to fire up our aussie BBQ.

By the way: The 4th and 5th leg of the TOS will be at the same place where we took the picture. It's a beautiful area in summer and winter up in the mountains.

Best regards,
Boos Family
