40th Anniversary Event – Wildflower Drive, 27 May 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bendigo Orienteers was formed in January 1977 as Bendigo Bushwalking and Orienteering Club. <\/p>\n

All orienteers are welcome to join us on the Wildflower Drive map as we celebrate and reminisce on club and personal achievements from the past 40 years. Please stay after your run – at 2.00pm our President Julie Flynn will cut the commemorative cake and a sumptuous afternoon tea will begin.<\/p>\n

Bring a Friend or Bring a Plate \u2013 or Both!<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a special incentive, anyone who brings a friend to come-and-try orienteering will receive free entry on the day. If you don\u2019t have any friends please bring a plate of goodies for afternoon tea. If anyone still has an old club tee-shirt or other retro gear, please wear them \u2013 if they still fit!<\/p>\n

The Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our 40th Anniversary Event will celebrate some aspects of 20th Century orienteering. There will be no SI sticks or other electronic devices in use. Instead, we will return to the glories of punchcards and the joys of analogue timing. A friendly official will allocate your start time at the start triangle and another will determine your finish time as you cross the finish line. Competitors are responsible for punching the card in the appropriate square at each control as they navigate their course. Don\u2019t forget to hand your punch card in to the finish officials who will then check the card and determine the time taken.<\/p>\n

The Courses<\/strong><\/p>\n

The usual five Bendigo Bush Classic courses will be available<\/p>\n

Directions<\/em><\/strong>: From Bendigo take the McIvor Highway (B280) towards Heathcote. After 6.0km turn right (O-sign) into St Vincents Rd. After a further 600m turn right (O-sign) into Cassinia Drive. Parking is along Cassinia Drive, please respect residents by not restricting driveways.<\/p>\n
