HAVE-A-GO FARM ORIENTEERING DAY

We are running orienteering courses with club members there to help, guide and give feedback where needed. This is open to students as well as teachers and parents. This Have-a-go day is a great chance to practice for the upcoming Manawatu Schools Individual Champs and Club events.

The event will be held at Westerlee Farm near Bulls (exact location to follow) with training and course starts between 10:30am - 12:30pm with course closure at 1:30pm. There will be a White, Yellow and Orange course available to practice on. 

This event is FREE for all attendees. Registration closes on Sunday March the 2nd at 11:59pm. Registration is so that we have enough maps available. If you think that you will want to do more than one course because you are inbetween colours ie. White and Yellow please tick both boxes. 

White Course - This course is for beginners. Learn basic map symbols, map colours, read and understand control descriptions. Courses follow paths, fence line etc.

Yellow Course - More advanced symbol recognition, simple route choices, taking short cuts from paths and fence lines etc. 

Orange Course - Use international symbols, interpret map features, and understand scales, contour reading, route choices, rough compass use, attack points used, and relocation skills.

Planner - Tony Patterson,   Controller - Greg Sawyer
