First Nav Dash Event for 2010 at Mount Lawley
Monday, 8 March 2010
Orienteering Western Australia’s exciting Nav Dash Series is back again for 2010, and for the opening event we have a new start area on an updated ECU Mt Lawley map. The courses have been set by Ricky Thackray.
Nav Dash events are line courses, with start intervals. They have easy navigation and are a great way to prepare for the Winter bush orienteering season. You can get used to reading fine map details and making route choice decisions, as well as using a compass.
The courses have full Sportident punching, and course lengths range from 2.5kms to 3.5kms. Bring your Sportident e-card, or hire one at the event.
Registration for the event is from 1.30pm – 2.30 pm, and Start Times are from 2.00pm - 3.30 pm, with courses closing at 4.30 pm. There will be a newcomers briefing at 1.45pm.
Entry fees: Adults $12, Junior $7, Group $17. Members fees are Adult $10, Junior $5, Group $15. There is a family maximum for members of $20, an members may also use a prepaid card for a further discount.
Another reason to come! The OAWA Annual General Meeting will be held immediately after this event (see following News item).
