Park Street Update, November 10-16 – MEFTY Winner Announced

The MEFTY Award (Most Events For The Year) has been calculated – congratulations to winner Stuart McWilliam with 128 events for the year October 2025-September 2026!  Second place was Noel McVey on 117 events, and third place was Peter Yeates on 112 events. Rounding out the Top 10 were Peter Lada, Lauris Stirling, Lincoln Paterson, Mark Besley, Darian Panter, Henk de Jong, and Peter Dalwood.

On the topic of completing a lot of events, Mark Besley reached the remarkable milestone of 2500 events last week at Jells Park.   Mark is now a Millennium Club Hall of Famer, a feat achieved by only 5 other people.  Mark is of course the Wednesday scorer, and has been for time immemorial.  On top of that, Mark is a Life Member of Dandenong Ranges Orienteering Club, the Park Street rep for ARDF, and always the first to offer to set courses for both clubs. Mark is also the go-to person if you need to know where to have a BBQ anywhere in Melbourne. Check out all the Millennium Club Rankings here (updated monthly).
