Hi all,
We've just come back from an excellent Australian 3 Days/QB3 in Wagga Wagga. [ed. some pics of the arenas on our Facebook page here]
I'd like to congratulate our placegetters, they were:-
- Steve Flick 1st M70A
- Darren Slattery 2nd M21AS
- Alitia Dougall 2nd W35A
- Michael Halmy 2nd M55AS
- Mel Cox 2nd M60A
It was great to meet up with new Bennelong member, Colin Dominish at Wagga, Colin is the son of Rod Dominish who was a founder of our club as well as the founder of the Waggaroos. Welcome Colin. Colin hasn't orienteered for a long time and he improved everyday in the M45A class.
A great result by Mel Cox, less than a half a minute off 1st, I bet Mel could easily have found those few seconds on the last day.
Steve Flick was dominant in M70 with two 1st and a 2nd on the 3 days.
It was also pleasing to see the Hopper/Lambert family there. Peter in particular improved each day. Tshinta showed a lot of promise in W16A up against the best juniors in Australia.
The next State Leagues are in Newcastle on 15th/16th July, It would be great if we can get a good rollup at these events. Entries in Eventor will be open soon.
Other coming events are:- Metro League at Glengarry Girl Guides training centre, North Turramurra on 25th June. Let Brett know your availability to run for the club.
Club events coming soon are:-
- 5th July, Moonlight Madness at ELS Hall Park, North Ryde organised by Bob Morgan.
- Metro League 4 at Allambie Heights Oval on 23rd July organised by Rachael Povah

Terry Bluett
