4. Thanks Regina
Thankyou to Regina Reuter for her many years of assistance doing the calculations for Orienteer of the Year.
Regina has retired  from this responsibility at the end of the 2019 season.
We all appreciate the work she has done to keep these records accurate.

5. The Australian Orienteer
The DECEMBER edition of The Australian Orienteer features the recent and highly successful Oceania Carnival & Schools Championships, as well as the associated Juniors Invitational Tour which drew 150 attendees. The inaugural Melbourne City Race is covered, as is 2019 WOC, the recent World Cup Round in China, and the AUS MTBO Championships held in Maryborough, VIC. Stephen Bird continues his series on how to use split times to fine tune your training; Ian Baker reviews the 50th Anniversary event held in Victoria; there's details of upcoming major event carnivals; and Duncan Currie's "Jeff" is at it again - poor Jeff. Another one not to be missed.
