What a shame so many of you decided to not trust the weather this week
– despite having to set up for the event in the pouring rain the weather
gods were kind to us and the evening was actually very much enjoyed by
those that showed. Thanks very much, Melissa, for courses thoroughly enjoyed
by all (with the exception of Bert, of course – where would we be without
his good hearted moaning??). There will be a few people busily pulling
biddy bids off clothing tomorrow but Mt Richmond really is a very pleasant
little mountain, not very well known to most of us. Aren’t we lucky in
Auckland to have so many of these gems tucked away in the suburbs. Hamlin
Hill, visited by course one and two, is another – without the lovely trees
of Mt Richmond at present, but this is being remedied fast by the Forest
and Bird Society – each year we visit there has been more and more planting
with the earliest ones having shot up into a lovely grove of young natives
this year.
Talking of great places to visit, next week we are at Western Springs
– a truly delightful park to visit, abounding with bird life and rabbits.
PLEASE NOTE – We will be starting from the ZOO CAR PARK (not Meola reef
as earlier advertised) The City Council, in their wisdom, has decided that
far too many depressions have formed on Meola Reef and so are in the throws
of covering it in clay to make it nice and smooth – they obviously don’t
know about interesting control sites!!
You may like to mark on your calendar the first of the Sunday events,
on Sunday, 17th February, at Totara Park in Manurewa, followed by a whole
weekend of fun on 2nd, 3rd March when the North West club is organising
an event Saturday afternoon, followed by a night event Saturday night and
yet another Sunday morning, all up on the South Kaipara peninsula, north
of Parakai. You can even camp the night there. Should be a great weekend,
with all most welcome to attend. The night event will be great practice
for club members who are planning to head off to Taupo in March to compete
in the Taupo night relay interclub event. (an event not to be missed!)
With the forest events about to start up, if there are any of you who
are newer to orienteering and think you would like to come to some forest
events, but would like to learn a bit more about the skills of orienteering,
we will organise a coaching session at one of the next summer series events.
Just send us a reply to this email, letting us know you are interested
and we will arrange it.
Don’t forget that Counties Manukau have an event on Thursday (7th) at
Rooseville Park, Pukekohe
