EUREKA NEWS:
Remember this date: Sun October 22nd. Long Distance Championships at Mt Beckworth. A new map
1:10000.
Chris is wanting about 2_3 sets of 9 volunteers to assist with the running of the Mt Beckworth event. So
some of us will need to do two stints. What is your forte. 4 on the start , 3 on the finish, 2 on results, There
will of course be setup, pull down and sort the maps tasks as well. It was suggested we provide extra
cleanskin maps instead of sorting, but the $200 extra cost was not seen as ideal.
Linton MTBO: Nov 12th Emily Viner is the course setter on a map recently revised by Andrew
Slattery from SA.
Social Event: Winter: Sunday August 13th,2006, is to be a Social get together event at Ballarat’s La
Porchettas. Followed by a BYO dessert to share and tea, coffee and milo chat session at Lawford’s at the
very end of Swinglers Rd. 4.5km from the roundabout at the Cemetery corner. Norman/Doveton streets.
1 2006 World Masters Championships in Austria - Geoff Lawford (M50) set his goal to be in the top 10 in
the world - and he made it comfortably by taking 6th in M50 against over 300 keen orienteers from Europe,
Asia, USA and Canada. Well done Geoff - you are a legend!
2 "Rockhopper Trophy" (after 6 events) - Eureka lies 5th behind 1st place NE (636 pts), 2nd TK (580),
YV (497), BK (479) and then Eureka on 429 points (103, 91, 84, 25, 46, 80 = 429). As you can see we
scored most at the EU Challenge - but in most events we have really given the points away by not having
good all-club representation. We really need to get 'serious' at Sailor's Diggings on 30 July and see if we
can't get up in the top 3. So with 5 State Series and 2 Championships (Middle and Long-Distance) to go,
let's see if together we can make a difference!
