[EurekaO] Park/Street/Urban Orienteering Events in Ballarat – two in December, two in January

December Eureka News

*Breaking news! Warwick and James will start our events program for 2021 with two park/street events in December and two in January. 

Start – at 6pm – Finish by 7pm

Controls – either tapes with numbers on them, SI with plate controls or hanging markers

Guidelines – we will be adhering COVID safe procedures – touch-less controls – and will encourage physical spacing at the start and finish. If you don’t feel well, please stay home until you are well.

Dec 17 Thurs        Yuille Homestead, start at the east end of Vickers St in Sebas at the shelter in the park

Dec 23  Wed         Sparrow Ground, start at the shelter near the old oval off Spencer St between Kline St and Richards St, Canadian 

Jan 14  Thurs        Ballarat Nth/Black Hill, start at the shops at the corner of Walker St and Simpson St

Jan 21  Thurs Wendouree Gardens, start at the Lake Gardens shops, enter on Lake Gardens Ave then right on Cedars Gv

**So bring your SI stick or borrow one from the club supply on the night. We’ll keep the prices down to 2020 standard – $5 per group or individual entry (pays for the map and the VOA levy for park/street events). Tell your friends and just show up at 5.45 to get instructions on the night – tips for newcomers – and general Q&A at physical distancing.

***Eureka was successful in obtaining a $1000 grant from SRV for new 10 SIAC Air sticks. These will be available in mid to late January for touch-less punching on SI controls set for beacon mode.

****Ian has “boxed up” all the SI gear in handy containers for the beginning events in 2021. Should make our first big event – the NOL Hageby – a really special event. More details soon from Roch.
