From the Easter Organising Team

Thank you for coming along and supporting the carnival.
Our aim was to deliver an enjoyable experience for all orienteers with high quality maps and courses, encompassing a range of different terrains. A lot of thought went into our arenas to make them friendly for showcasing the action and for competitor interaction.  From feedback received, we believe we achieved our aim.

We had fantastic support from the Loddon Shire and from the communities where the races were based, and it has been great to hear of your support for the community businesses.

Yes, photos were taken, and these are now with Orienteering Australia to sort the good from the average and post them online.

What a great Easter 3 days! I’m so pleased that all the amazing preparation produced such a fantastic carnival that everyone seemed to enjoy. On the last day I was stopped and thanked by a myriad of people from Victoria and interstate who wanted to say how much they had enjoyed the carnival. Those thanks need to go to those who did so much so let me list a few. The organising team of Neil, Julie, Margi, Ted and Chris did a magnificent job across the carnival as the lead team. They worked so hard all weekend and deserve all our thanks. I lost count of the different jobs I saw each of them do or “wrinkles” that were quickly ironed out so that everyone else could go and enjoy the event.

The combination of great maps, contrasting terrain, fantastic arena planning, good use of Toph and his technology and the hard work of great course setters in Aislinn, Clare, Bruce and James produced a fantastic carnival for everyone. There was a dedicated finish team led by Ian Chennell and dedicated start teams, registration crew and many others. Many clubs contributed to each day and a big thanks for everyone who contributed to such a great outcome! I wish I could list everyone who played a role but that would be a long list. We will try to do so in a later bulletin.

Of course there is still more to come with the celebration of WOC 85 through the week and then the three Vic Championship events over the Anzac weekend on more high-quality maps. There is more to look forward to and I know still more hard work to come. I hope to see everyone again at the weekend as you finish on Sunday and look forward to more high-quality racing.
