Course setter: John Wilkinson

Today’s training course was held on old mining and bush terrain in Golden Square. Hot and dry conditions and challenging courses provided an enjoyable exercise for a small group of old and new competitors. Thanks to those who came and those who helped collect controls at the end (Peter Forbes, Jenny Ball, Terry Davidson, John Wilkinson). We were packed up and headed for home by 3 pm.

END

The March meeting has been cancelled, so the next committee meeting is scheduled on Monday 10 April, at 7:30pm. Any members are welcome to attend, to find out what’s happening behind the scenes.

The club’s first training event was on a brand new map between Bendigo and Eaglehawk on Saturday, called St Just Point.

Neil Barr had mapped and set some challenging middle distance courses on this previously unused mining terrain near California Gully. Around 30 people attended and enjoyed the courses despite the hot conditions. The training plan was for people to run their course twice and compare their performance on each. Only one person ran their course twice, the rest of us were too hot and tired.

A big thank you to the 7 members who stayed behind to help collect the 31 controls in the heat. It made this job much simpler for the organiser, and shared the load. Thanks: John Wilkinson (organiser and course setter for next week), Jenny Ball, Lorraine Leversha, Darren and Raelee Eenjes, Andrew Wallace and Jim Russell.
