Final Marker - Centennial Park Permanent course

We had some pretty ordinary weather to mark the final installation of the last marker for the Centennial Park Permanent Course last Wednesday. However there were happy faces everywhere!! It has been about a 15 month process but to now finally see it all come together is really great and it was a great project to be part of. There are a few technicalities which need to be finalised before we can put together the kits. These will be for sale at the Centennial Parklands Visitor Centre which will allow people to discover our sport in their own leisure time.

Five organisations came together to make this possible, and I would like to thank every organisation for the part they played in the planning/implementation process:
OANSW - Barbara Hill - Promotions Director. She played a huuuuge part in making this all happen. It wouldn't have been possible without all her help in particular to the more technical side of things such as logos, MoU etc.
Centennial Parklands - Mark Reid. For coming up with the idea and getting the Board and Trustees on the side of the project, and pushing the project along.
Conservation Volunteers - who created the markers and installed them at the control sites.
Centennial Parklands Foundation - who funded the project.
Uringa - Linda and Dave. Course setting and marking/checking control sites.

To mark this milestone in Uringa club history, come along this Sunday 17 June to the Metro/Juniorleague for a bit of cake and fuzz around 12pm.....I guarantee it won't be just an ordinary cake.....it will be a very special and unique cake!! You will also have the possibility to check out some of the markers....
