DFP Relay and Presentations. (Mt Sugarloaf)

Welcome to Newcastle Orienteering Club

Orienteering is a competitive or non-competitive recreational activity in which participants use a detailed map (and usually a compass) to navigate between checkpoints (known as “controls”) along an unfamiliar course. If you like a mental and physical challenge and exploring the outdoors, orienteering is the sport for you!

Don’t forget that this Sunday 9th November is the date of the annual Draw for Partner Relay. This year sees this fun event located at Sugarloaf, a map we haven’t visited for some time.

Anybody wishing to enter this or even do one of the courses individually (but we preferred you did the relay) should contact Denis Lyons 49731217 (or Geoff Peel 49680977) so that maps can be prepared.

At the moment we need to have more entries in the 2.8km medium leg otherwise we will have to drop some other entrants back to this course to form even teams.

Note: Club “bush” presentations and BYO picnic (or BBQ if no fire bans) will take place at the conclusion of the event.

Entries to date.
