Farewell Winter, Hello Summer!
Wednesday, 4 October 2017
With the start of daylight savings, park street orienteering is more fun than ever! Our three Winter series have come to a close. We apologise for the lack of published results (tech gremlins at work), but rest assured we know who the winners are!
Presentations will be held for all three series (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday) at the first Eastern Summer Series event on October 18. The venue is Forest Chase, starting from Mahoneys Reserve. We'll have a post-event sausage sizzle provided by the scout group, so please plan to stay and enjoy the evening, compliments of Orienteering Victoria. Summer Series kicks off on Monday October 16, and continues four nights a week, until mid March, all over Melbourne. We also have shorter series in Geelong, the Surf Coast, and the Macedon Ranges. Visit www.vicorienteering.asn.au/parkstreet for full details, and to download a calendar file to your device. Season tickets for the four main series will be sold to Club members during the first three weeks. At just $60 a series, these are a massive saving - you could pay up to $110 per series using pay as you go. Not a Club member? Join now and receive membership until the end of 2018.
