Winter season begins with ACT doubleheader

Although it seems an obvious match, cross-badging NSW and ACT events isn't a common occurrence. This year NSW State League Events #1 and #2 were cross-badged with the ACT Sprint Champs and the ACT Middle Distance Champs.And on top of this was National Orienteering League event. It made for a very well attended weekend (with Queensland and Victoria as well as some overseas countries also represented).

SL#1 = ACT Sprint Championships
Canberra Girls Grammar School offered multiple levels, sharp corners and a great assembly area and finish on the oval.
