Venue: Assembly area - Wallsend South Public School – Smith Rd Wallsend A joint initiative with Wallsend South Public School, building on the Active After School Community Program run there last year. We will be presenting Orienteering games and activities for the children and two courses for orienteers.
Courses: One will be a Sprint/Park style event utilising the school grounds and the adjacent parkland at Elermore Vale. The other will be an enclosed course (for children and totally within the school grounds so suitable for our Juniors too)
Entries: Enter on the day, at time to suit you from 4:45pm-6:30pm. Come early as sunset is getting earlier
Course Planner: Carolyn and Russell Rigby
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!
