I’m not sure who sent the message below.

However, to get to the event, take Midlands Highway towards Creswick/Castlemaine; follow A300 thru Sulky (new roundabout); turn right at the beginning of the overtaking lane at Sulky Hill; follow O-signs into Codes Forest Road (dirt), Moores Road (dirt), Standard Road (dirt); assembly area is 7 1/2 minutes from the time you leave the Midlands Highway.

See you on Sunday.

Jenny

Mar 032021

Hello all Finally the day has come. Real orienteering returns to a forest near you!
EU are organising an event, part of the OV Autumn Series, on 14 March ( Sunday week) at Petticoat Gully. So dust off your compasses and come along. There is also an event on Mt Alexander on the Saturday. You’ll find all the details are on Eventor. Note that, as a Covid requirement, it is strictly pre entry. There will be NO enter on the day. Entries close this Thursday night ( tomorrow). So enter now. It will be good to see and big EU turnout so we can reacquaint ourselves with each other after the long lay off.
Of course, since it is an EU event, we will need assistance to run the show and would appreciate it if you could let me know if you are available to help on the day. All the usual jobs need doing – Set up, parking, starts (it is also a NOL event and those people have allocated start times), download, pack up.
Please let me know by emailing gjlawford2@bigpond.com if you can help.
Thanks. Hope to see you Jenny

[EurekaO] BUNS Tomorrow 3 March at Canadian Lakes 5.30pm for 6pm

Posted by Webmaster at 7:16 pm Quicknews Comments Off

Mar 022021

Hi everyone,
I’ve set a BUNS run at Canadian Lakes for tomorrow evening, meet at the usual picnic shelter on Canadian Lakes Blvd (just after the roundabout off Main Rd) from 5.30pm for a 6pm start.
I’ve also put the course up on MapRun, so if you’d prefer to use your phone and MapRun to record your progress, rather than a pencil to write down the letters, please bring along a charged-up mobile device with MapRunF or MapRun6 installed.
See you there!
Regards, Ian
