**Public Service Announcement**
With all the excitement of AOC you may not realise the deadline for entries to the Tasmanian Sprint and Middle distance championships this coming weekend close at midnight tonight!!! photo https://eventor.orienteering.asn.au/Events/Show/23313

For W & M 10s don't forget to stick around to pick up the last pack of the orienteering set tomorrow. For anyone wondering... the sets are the brain child of the AOC prize designers. What started as a simple idea evolved into a very complex Lego order, lots of sorting, sealing, folding, 3d printing, sticking and glueing. We hope the kids like them! Unfortunately we are sorry to say that we don't have any spares.

We are racing and what a view at the finish line for today

The 2026 Australian Championships are here with the Sprint Distance today.
Good luck to all competitors today. May you enjoy this unique area.
Thank you to our major sponsors of the Championships, Events Tasmania and the Moria Whiteside Bequest.
