[EurekaO] Newington PS at Victoria Park

 Posted by at 4:40 pm  Quicknews  Comments Off on [EurekaO] Newington PS at Victoria Park
Nov 162021
 

Hello all
I am going to have another attempt at an O session for Newington PS. You may remember that the last attempt was a wash out. However the school would like to try again and the session will take place next Friday in Victoria Park, opposite Newington PS. The time has yet to be confirmed but will probably be something like 10-12.
I am looking for some helpers to assist with “ admin duties” such as handing out maps, helping with download and results and general assistance to the students. I am hopeful that sundry teachers will be on “ patrol duty” in the park.
If you are able to assist, could you please let me know on gjlawford2@bigpond.com
Thanks in anticipation Jenny

Members,

 

I will be running a basic local training event on the Mt Beckworth map this Saturday (2nd October). 


Starts from 10.30-12.00. 

PLEASE EMAIL ME on dbrownridge@fastmail.fm that you intend to attend, and what time you would like to start, as there must be no more than 10 people starting together. If more than ten are expected at a time, I will reply and suggest a different time.  If you are running late on the day, please text me on 0418366210, so that maximum group limits are not exceeded.

There will be 2 courses, a long of approx. 5km, and a short approx. 3km.

Start will be at the pine plantation at the southern end of the map (Coutts Rd)


It is likely to be quite wet and slippery out there after the forecast rain, so please take care.

Feel free to invite any other regional Victorian orienteers who are able to attend within the current COVID travel restrictions.

 

Please scan in on arrival with the QR code, and maintain the usual COVID protocols at the training event.

 

Hope to see you there.

 

David Brownridge

There are two courses, one of 5.3 km in the rough gold mining and one of 3.6 km avoiding most of the rough stuff. The start will be on the corner of Glenisla Road and Lofven Street, in Little Bendigo, near the south eastern corner of the map Note that I have moved the start about 500 metres west from where I previously had it).

Members,

 

Now that we Ballaraters are yet again allowed to undertake training exercises, I will be running a really basic local training event on the Nerrina map this Sunday (26th September).  Starts from 10.30-12.00.  PLEASE EMAIL ME ON wozzaw@bigpond.com THAT YOU ARE COMING AND WHAT TIME YOU WOULD LIKE TO START AS WE NEED TO PLAN TO NOT HAVE MORE THAN TEN PEOPLE TOGETHER.  If we are expecting more than ten at a time, I will write back to you and propose a different time.  If you are running late on the day, please text me on 0418 370 043, and we will work something out.

 

I will put out two courses, one of about 5 km in the rough gold mining and one of about 3.5 km avoiding most of the rough stuff.  The start will be on Glenisla Road, just out the back of Little Bendigo, near the south eastern corner of the map.  Please feel free to invite any other Free Victorian orienteers as well.

 

Please scan in on arrival with our QR code, and maintain the usual COVID protocols at the event.

 

Hope to see you there.

[EurekaO] 2021-2022 2nd Draft of Eureka Orienteers Events

Hi
Just out of lockdown tonight! Yeh!
So here is something to get you organised for the end of this year and into 2022. I have heard from several you, but not from others. So here is the latest plan – earthquakes and all. Please let Blake know what you can help out with on the spreadsheet. Once I have a list of venues from Gary for the end of 2021 and summer 2022, I’ll paste them in.
Sounds like we can go up to John Chellew’s Butterfly Gully course this weekend. There do not seem to be any Bendigo events for the next few Saturdays – but watch Eventor for changes. So hope the weather warms up and you take the chance to get out!
Why not try one of Ian’s MapRun events around Ballarat – you can see he has put quite a lot of them up on the Eureka webpage.

[EurekaO] Butterfly Gully training course

All,

 

John Chellew has kindly put out a training course for anyone who is interested on the Butterfly Gully map, northwest of Daylesford.  The attached pdf has a locality plan to get you to the start and the map itself for you to print.  The controls are marked with a small kite, and will be out for the next month or so.

 

I have copied John on this email, and he can be contacted on that email address with any questions or comments.

 

Thank you very much, John!

 

Regards,

 

Warwick.
