Summer Series Results from

Results from courses: Park One
Two Three Four
It's happened again. Yes, you know, rain and plenty of it. However,
as different from last week, a goodly number of you decided to brave it.
And enjoyed it too. Once you are wet, and that was very easy to achieve,
further rain was no problem and so course 1 was quite popular. Having put
the controls out and set everything up in the rain it was very pleasing
to see you all come out.
Thanks to Ian Sydenham and Dave Crofts for setting and controlling todays
event. Unfortunately Ian couldn't make it to the park as he had to work
for rather more than 24 hours leading up to the day and wasn't in a fit
state to attend. He was very disappointed.
Welcome those of you who were new to the sport today. Hope you enjoyed
yourselves, it's even more fun in nice weather. Although a few commented
it was better to run in the rain than in the heat that we've been experiencing
recently.
Next week the event is on WEDNESDAY. The event centre is on Grand Drive
near the junction with Abbotts Way. Parking is available in a small car
park off Grand Drive but those that can't get in there we suggest using
Grand Drive and not Abbotts Way as it is very busy. Where ever you use
be careful of passing traffic. The map, Waiatarua, has only been used once
before, by course 1 only at the event where we started at the Elleslie
Racecourse, so it is largely a new map. It is very flat and has a lovely
bush area in the middle. Come along and enjoy a new part of town. There
is a direction map available on the Auckland Club webpage.
We gained two very nice items at todays event. A very nice thumb compass
and a great rain jacket (Columbia - blue, black and red, size M) were left
behind at the end. Please reply to this email or ring 5755695 if you wish
to claim either of these.
As we started to put out the controls and found the bridge so close
to the start/finish area closed we wondered how we could hold the event.
In the end it turned out no too badly as only course 3 couldn't be sensibly
done but this was fixed by removing a control. Gave us a bit of a shock
but, with all your understanding, we got through without a disaster.
This Sunday there is an event at Totara Park, just south of Manukau
City. Turn off the motorway at Manurewa and then immediately turn left.
It is very much like a Summer Series event but held on Sunday morning.
We are not sure of the start times but it most likely will be 10am to 11:30.
Please note that there has been a change of dates of the North West
event. There is no event on the weekend of 23/24 (except for those really
keen amongst us who will be heading South for the Kaweka Challenge - look
forward to hearing tales about it) but there is the 3 events on the weekend
of the 2nd/3rd up in Woodhill forest - Saturday afternoon, a night event
and camping over and then another event Sunday morning - all are welcome
to attend all or part. Non club members are very warmly encouraged to come
along and give the forest a go - there will be plenty of us there more
than happy to help out. It should be a fun weekend. And club members, we
are needing to get the teams organised for the Taupo night relays the following
weekend - it is always really fun so if you haven't tried before, how about
this year? Auckland club members, please ring or email the Stewarts (5755695,
aw.stewart@auckland.ac.nz or reply to this email)
Coaching for newer orienteers, particularly those keen to give the forest
a go will be offered at the Summer series event next week (20th) - if you
haven't already let us know and would like to take part, please respond
to this email.
