Singleton - Rural Acres

Tuesday, 19 August 2008

Rural Acres just up the New England highway at Singleton provided a great location for todays minor event. Course setter Russell Blatchford managed to squeeze nearly 8 km's for the long red course out of this small map by utilizing a map change. To add a little more interest the Red and Orange course maps had all the minor tracks removed increasing the navigational difficulty. The weather was perfect.

There was also junior training exercises after the event.

Call For Course Setters for Street Series

Monday, 11 August 2008

The time has come to begin serious planning for the upcoming annual Summer Street Series. This year, with the extension of daylight saving, the plan is to extend the Series to 17 events. That means we need to find 17 course setters. Setting a Street Event is within the capabilities of all who run these events and for first timers we will give plenty of support and assistance.

If you can help out by setting an event then can you please send an email to me at malcolm.roberts@newcastle.edu.au telling me

a) Which date you would like, (specific date or a series of dates),

b) Which map you would like to use (specific map or just general area)

From all who run in the Street Series, thank you in advance

Malcolm Roberts

DRAFT proposed calendar is below. (It will change! The official calendar will be published in due course!)
