The Black Crow is awarded each year to the club member who is responsible for the most spectacular misadventure of the year.
A new nomination. It was at Fiddlers Green when one of our more senior people started to take the trailer to bits to try and extract the container with the results slips in it that was (seemingly) stuck in the bottom. Someone else came along with (thankfully) a bit more nous and let the trailer tailboard down and just – took them out!!
I’m trying to remember something else about a download unit – what happened there Warwick?
For those older members of the club, I caught up with Noel Schoknecht last night – he’s still going strong, still very much involved in WA orienteering. He was in Bendigo for a conference.
Sedgwick.A great event, a good turn-up, great courses – Bendigo Orienteers bringing high quality local events to local people – as we should! Thank you Catherine! It was good to see so many of the people who attended our CATI’s turning up to try out the real thing in real forest on our doorstep — but what pleased me most was the number of families and lots of kids. It is vital that we push ‘reachable’ events after our CATI’s – Sedgwick proved this!

Whispers: Word on the street is that a long time member of the club who used to wear only KT-26 shoes, has taken himself down to Sports Co in the Mall, and bought a pair of Inov-8 X-Talon 212 shoes, just like those on the Club website.
Heard on the weekend (he was a controller), saying how much grip they had

Map: Diamond Hill Organiser: Peter Forbes
Course Setter: Peter Forbes Start: 12.30 pm to 2.00 pm
Comment: Diamond Hill is a wonderful area. It has many pieces of old gold mining and erosion, making it a very interesting place to wander around. The easier courses will be suitable for beginners so come along and taste the forest!
Courses: Courses 1, 2 and 3 difficult navigation, 4 moderate nav. And 5 easy.
Directions: From Bendigo: From the Fountain travel south along Mitchell Street, over the railway bridge. Continue through the traffic lights (where the street becomes Carpenter St.), through the roundabout and past the Cemetery. Ignore the Spring Gully turn off and a couple of hundred metres further on turn right into Paterson Street, then again right into Burnside Street. Look for the assembly area. From Melbourne: travel via the Calder to the centre of Bendigo, then as for Bendigo.
NOTE THAT IN THE EVENT OF A DAY OF TOTAL FIRE BAN IN THE NORTHERN COUNTRY REGION ANY EVENT SCHEDULED FOR THAT DAY WILL BE CANCELLED.
