November 2007 - Kiama
Only a small field made the journey south to scenic
Kiama. There were the usual variety of excuses - sick, friends wedding,
better offer or other commitments. So Keith has won the award for the most
popular club event of the year. It must have been the lure of the sausage
sandwich or the bribes offered.
The courses consisted of compulsory controls and bonus
controls (with time bonuses). Dayle was worried that the time bonuses
didn't offer enough incentive, but we probably got it close. Even with a
small field, it was interesting to see the different strategies. Doug only
collected the bonus controls if they were on the way between the compulsory
controls - so he ended up with a fast time and small bonus. Whereas Ian,
Warwick and Barry ventured further away from the optimal route to pick up the
bonuses. Ian could have won, if he stopped at the memorial to the SS Bombo
bonus control, which he ran past along the Kiama Harbour foreshore. Sue
also had trouble with this control and read the plaque about the fig tree and
didn't see the one next to it about the ship.

October 2007 - Helensburgh
Several
first timers turned up to have a go at this event. Sherryn Meeth did the Blue Course first and then followed up with the
Green which was not an easy one.
Leah
Carlon and Jeremy Goode are doing Physical Education at Wollongong Uni and they
were required to do an orienteering course and did quite well.
Some
of our club members chose the long course when the shorter one would probably
have been more suitable given the density of the undergrowth now.

August 2007 - Kiama Downs
A
record roll up for this the most prestigious event on the local calendar with no
fewer than 47 competitors turned up at for the Kiama Downs run of the year.
There is an obvious challenge here to Dave Green for later in the year.
The
huge turn up was boosted by about 35 trainee PE teachers from UOW. This is the
second year that we have hosted an event for the teaching faculty. As part of
their course there is an orienteering component and the choice was to research
or actually participate in an orienteering event. I think most chose the latter.
We
decided this year to try and create a social atmosphere after the run hoping
that most would stay instead of rushing off after their run. We offered those
that came a choice of a run and a sausage sizzle or just a run and everyone
stayed for the sausage sizzle, which gave us the chance of announcing the
winners and some discussion on the reasons for some of the DNF’s(did not
finish). They were keen to know who performed best and it apparently came as no
surprise who the winners and place getters were. Because people stayed and
chatted there was an opportunity for discussion about the sport and when the
next one might be on etc. The sausage sizzle had the dual role of satisfying
hunger but for some that got a little disorientated in the reserve on the return
leg of the short course could smell the sausages cooking and this led them home.
The
DNF’s for some of the teachers occurred on one control only. This was the
telegraph pole tucked into the green in the reserve just behind the finish.
Unfortunately not enough attention was paid to which one of the telegraph poles
they had to check and many chose the easiest pole to locate instead of the
required one. Again just like last year they needed very little instruction and
had no trouble doing what was required and all completed a successful run except
for that one control. Interestingly the old hands needed the most instruction
and asked the most questions and were the most disorientated at the start before
taking off.
Jim
Wilson managed to get a hold of the answer sheet instead of the blank question
sheet before a diligent organiser spotted the error and managed to wrestle it
back him.
Apart
from the teachers there were a number of newcomers as well as a good roll up of
the usual suspects. Among the newcomers was guy from Port Kembla, Vu Moyo who
has not done it since school but was keen to pick it up again, as well as a
family of locals from Gerringong. Dayle Green brought along a couple of friends
Jan and Carol .
There
was a lot of work in preparing to feed as well as organise to run novice
orienteers and my thanks go to Margaret and Simone for manning (womaning) the
BBQ as well as procuring all the necessaries. There were many loaves that had to
be buttered, onions to be pre cooked, as well as sausages to be cooked. The $5
dollar offer included a sausage sandwich with onions, a drink of cold soft drink
or glass of wine, and a choice of short or long course. Pretty good value. As it
turned out we just managed to make a very small profit thanks to some very smart
bulk shopping and a good turn out of competitors.
My
Thanks also to Katie Thompson for helping to co ordinate and be the contact for
her fellow students. Although they did start to turn up about an hour early. I
could have done with the extra hour to get better prepared as I was cleaning the
BBQ at the time.

July 2007 - Cronulla
Right
up until the last moment the sunny weather decided to have a break and up came
the rain clouds from the South. Maps
had been prepared so that the start could be moved to the comforts and shelter
of Nicholson Parade (our place) if required.
I took a punt and stuck it out at
Oak Park
and although cold, the rain didn’t come to anything.
First to arrive was Philippe and Paul
Donnadieu.
Paul had already attended State cross country at Eastern Creek earlier on
but was keen to ‘warm down’ on the 5.5K long course!
Philippe, coach and mentor played a very supportive role and tracked Paul
by car for the first couple of controls so that Paul could offload his tracksuit
as he warmed up.
Other club members arrived and looked a little reluctant in getting off
their warm gear but most took up the challenge.
Paul’s friend Todd (local to Cronulla) came along just to see what it
was all about and shadowed by Paul, did the Medium course.
Philippe was so inspired by his son’s efforts, after all he had been
running for most of the day, that he decided he must also run the long course
even though the only running gear he had were his jogging shoes.
A great effort from the Donnadieu’s.
Permanent control features were selected for the courses.
Both Long 5.5K and the Medium course 3.75K used some of the same control
features. There were no takers for
the Short Course 2.75K. The wooden
steps down the cliff at Bass & Flinders Point were tackled in different
ways. Ian ran to the bottom and up
and counted them all, Dayle went down 10 steps and counted the rest and Keith
stood at the top and counted from there – I wonder which would have been the
quickest.? There were 32 in total
– a little extra aerobic activity thrown in by the organiser.
The padlocks on the white structure in
Darook
Park
were a little tricky. There were
five altogether but two were around the side and were easily overlooked.
Similarly the bench seats on the wharf were not easy to see from a
distance which meant a few more extra steps on the 5.5K Long course.
Interestingly the first and last controls were set such that there was a
route choice and some of you chose the road option and some the Esplanade
option. This is what makes
orienteering challenging – there is no set way to approach a control – it is
completely your choice.
Finish times were close with all the long course runners displaying
similar fitness levels. Keith
managed to run the course clocking up two different finish times, that of the O
clock and Keith’s very own stopwatch. A
dilemma for the organiser! Were the
start and finish times recorded incorrectly or was Keith’s stopwatch out of
kilter? Where was Terry Bluett when
you needed him to contest the result? It
was decided to give Keith his moment of glory.
Ecstatic with the news he managed to weave the magic “38 mins” into
the conversation more than a few times during the evening.
(Keith, if that stopwatch of yours is loosing time – 5 minutes to be
precise, you had better get a new one for Christmas).
Back to the Froudes after the event, a small group relaxed around home
cooked pizzas, vino and pasta dishes whilst David stepped us through photos
taken at JWOC on his laptop. Margaret
Jay joined us for supper having just returned from a matinee performance of
Priscilla in the City. The Mills
boys took on the X-box with a little help from Ken and David and were rewarded
with several board games that the Froudes were clearing out.
Spirograph was a particular hit with Stevie.
Helen and Dave had a quick game of Kerplunk even though most of the
marbles were missing and the rest Helen kindly offered to donate to the local
fete! Thanks to everyone who came to
the event. See you all next time –
hopefully a little warmer.

June 2007 - Cordeaux Heights
Another
sunny day in Cordeaux Heights, although the wind was a bit cold. We had a small
but enthusiastic turnout for a run around the paths of Cordeaux. Later a select
group had some curry and a chat, and then watched the Wallabies beating
the All Blacks ... what a finish, almost as good as Barry's.

March 2007
- Thirroul
Beach
Park
This event was the first on the local event calendar for 2007.
The day was fine and pleasant although a tad windy in the shade.
The format of this event was a standard orienteering event with a
difference. In addition to running
the course in the quickest time, it was possible to “buy” extra time by
collecting controls that were off to one side of the shortest route.
The regular controls were circles numbered 1-5 as normal.
The bonus controls worth 2 minutes each were squares and were labelled
A-P.
Eight big people and three kids on bikes came to try their luck and speed on two
courses, a shorter 2.3km course and a longer 5.6km one.
The actual distances run were somewhat further with the bonus points, but
with the courses run mainly along the coastal strip, good times were recorded.
Keith was a bit unlucky because although he ran the quickest time, he
forgot to mark a couple of squares which would have shortened his overall time
by quite a bit and may have put him into top sport.
Jim and Andrew went for the squares and got them but it took a bit longer
doing so. The lads on bikes enjoyed
their ride despite some initial reservations.
I suspect the concept of mountain bike orienteering may have taken hold.
Quite
a few people were able to make the AGM and Club Meeting that followed a very
pleasant BBQ at the Mills’s. Thanks
to everyone who came along and participated.
