Covid19 Procedures - Update
- Details
Covid19 Procedures are continually being UPDATED
The NSW Government has recently issued updated COVID recommendations for community sport. Orienteering NSW has reviewed the updated recommendations and updated its COVID Safety Plan. You can view the updated plan HERE.
- allow regional orienteers to attend events in their local Regional District and neighbouring clubs' Regional District;
- reduce the number of Districts in Sydney from eight to five;
- give more guidance on assembly area layout;
- emphasise the need to 'arrive, orienteer, go home' by specifying a flow of competitors in the assembly area.
The NSW Government guidance for community sport which aims to reduce the mixing of participants from different regions had an initial period of six weeks. Fingers crossed that it ends in late September.

Vale Dot Wright
- Details
It is with much sadness we announce the death of Dot Wright. Dot was the wife of Allan Wright founding member and stalwart of the club in its growth years. Dot may not have taken to the bush very often, though she and Allan were avid bushwalkers. But her contribution to the club was immense. Phone enquiries for information about club activities were ably handled by Dot and she was a great advocate for our sport. She supported their sons Ian and Neil in the sport, and was often in charge of Enter on Day duties for our State and local events. The Hunter Schools Orienteering Championships particularly in 1980s and 1990s were spear headed by Allan and Dot with Dennis Lyons course planning. However her biggest contribution was to support Allan in the production of the Club Newsletter - in the times when it was a printed production, needing to be collated, stapled or folded, enveloped and posted. Dot was always in the thick of the action. Our thoughts are with Allan and the family.
