Calendar for 2015<\/span> (repeat).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our program for 2015 is now finalised and we are in the process of obtaining permits. This means we can’t change the location\/map but we can still change the event format. You can open and add your name from the following link 2015 Calendar and if you want to run an event with a different format, please email Colin Walker.<\/p>\n

NOTE<\/span><\/strong>: We still don\u2019t have any organizers for the CATI\u2019s on Sat 28 February and Sat. 7 March. If we don’t have anyone by Friday 20 Feb., both will have to be cancelled.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also need a Course Setter for the Vic Champs on the 26th April at One Tree Hill. <\/span><\/p>\n

Plan A didn’t work, now Plan B has gone the same way. Plan Z is that I will set them, but as I set the Ultralong last year, I dont want to be greedy and do it all<\/span><\/p>\n

BendiGo ToDay (from Don Cherry)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A big thanks to Jim for organising and running the Bendigo Today double over the weekend. Every one appeared to enjoy the navigation challenges and the return to Bush orienteering for the year. We welcomed some new members and those returning for the 2015 season.
\nFifty eight competitors sprinted around Gateway Park at Kangaroo Flat in humid conditions on Saturday evening negotiating streetscapes, park lands and the Bendigo creek. The beautiful bush setting on Sunday morning at Crusoe Reservoir had a return crowd of about 46 from the night before, with the addition of many who just came for the longer distance Hagaby swelling the numbers to 69. Navigation on the longer course played havoc with a few who posted longer than expected times.
\nOverall winners in A- Bryan Keely (BG), Simon Uppill (OH) and David Brownridge (BG). B course – Chris Norwood (EU), Jimmy Cameron (BG) and Asha Steer (DR). C course \u2013 Henry Cameron, Solomon Cameron and Karina Cherry, all from Bendigo. Well done to all. A longer analysis will appear on the club web page soon.<\/p>\n

One Tree Hill and Beyond<\/span><\/strong>. Bendigo Orienteers didn\u2019t just fall out of the sky! We are the strongest and most active Bush Orienteering club in Victoria \u2013 probably Australia, and we got there through the hard work and dedication of a lot of people. The club came into being in February 1977. Several members, still competing and working for the club were at the formation meeting in the old Town Hall building. Since then we have seen many milestones, probably the highlight being the hosting of the World Orienteering Championships \u2013 the first time outside Europe, on Mt Kooyoora near Inglewood. If you find that you are committed to our club, and orienteering, ask to purchase a copy of \u2018One Tree Hill and Beyond\u2019 a history of Bendigo Orienteers Inc., thoroughly researched and beautifully written by Charles Brownridge. Copies should be available at the O Trailer, cost $20.00. It is well worth the read!<\/p>\n

Coming Events.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

February 28th. and March 7th.<\/span><\/p>\n

Come and Try Orienteering<\/span>: events with courses specially designed for people who haven\u2019t yet tried our sport or want to get back to it after a long absence. But, to date we do not have any people to organize either of these events, so:<\/p>\n

NOTE<\/span><\/strong>: If we don’t have anyone by Friday 20 Feb., both will have to be cancelled.<\/span><\/p>\n
