Snails Bay

It was January 2012 when Uringa was swamped when running a Summer Series event at Birchgrove. Some 270+ runners descended on us and we struggled to keep up all night. As a matter of fact the final event tidy up was completed some time later.
Organiser Matt had Uringa finely tuned ready for the crowds and did they come. Not quite reaching the 270+ of 2012 but 257 is awfully close. The registration team coped brilliantly when we ran out of rego cards late in the evening.
Congratulations Matt a job well done. The course certainly was a test with only two runners scoring the maximum 600 points , followed by another 2 runners with 590 and a further 2 on 580 and then a deluge of 8 on 570. Mind you a record was set with one competitor scoring -920 points!

Well done Uringa for an amazing night on one of the most scenic maps in Sydney.

There was quite a number of folks who had never orienteered before, or at least never been to a Summer Series event.
