Next Event at Ophir North, Sunday 11 September
Although the weather is warming up at last, the ground is extremely wet and the forecast is for above average rainfall for September. It is impossible to plan more than 7 days ahead! At our last committee meeting we decided to move the Ophir North event to 11 September, as the weather looked more promising then, but now we are not so sure!
However, Ophir North is planned to be a simple event with just Start and Finish SI control units. There will be flags at all the control sites with a pink tape with the control number. That way the flags can go out in advance, without the risk of losing expensive SI units and control stands. Harry L’Estrange is planning the courses. Nick Wilmott has kindly offered to do coaching on the day for individuals or small groups.
Access to the area is ONLY from the NORTH, via Ophir Road, as the Summer Hill Creek is still flooded and the Causeway at Ophir is closed.
Start times from 10am. Please be on time if you are taking up Nick’s offer of coaching. Also, please check our website before the event, in case we need to postpone the event again. There will be orienteering signs from Ophir Road at Clifton Grove.
October event
We had hoped to have an event at Kahli’s Rocks but the land is incredibly wet there so we have decided to seek an alternative venue. At this stage, it is likely to be on the Pinecliffe property near Molong that belongs to Bennelong Orienteer, Steve Flick. There will be more information on this in our next newsletter and on the website.
