Centennial Park Final Event of Southern Summer Series

Was it Centennial Park? Was it the bake sale fundraiser for Zonta birthing kits? Was it the weather? Was it just December?

Nearly ninety runners signed on for the last event of the 2016 Southern Summer Series.

Dave Lotty set a wide-ranging course.  A number of control were placed on controls in the Centennial Park permanent course, reminding runners that of that other option. (Information on the permanent course is here.)

There was a late challenging change to the map: just what film will be made at the filmset under construction (causing a control to be moved 50 metres and challenging navigation planning)?  There was the usual problem with navigation in the bushy northern part of the map (yes, bush - the park is not all lawns and ponds).

Helen Murphy and Mary Jane Mahony, supported by a band of Uringa bakers, raised over $500 to donate to the Zonta Club of Sydney Breakfast Inc towards the next Birthing Kits Assembly Day. Sugar hits from luscious cookies, cupcakes, slices and cake were widespread.

Sue Thompson (Garingal) won the first raffle prize Christmas cake and Kevin Kirby (Illawarra Kareelah) the second prize.
