Richard Matthews 

Attendees at the OWA 2020 AGM unanimously approved Council's proposal to confer life membership to Richard in recognition of his achievements and dedication to our organisation.  He is the only person in WA to be a life member of both OWA and WARA.

We are pleased to announce that the following people were appointed Council members for 2020 at the AGM on Sunday 22nd March, 2020.

A lot of names are unchanged from last year.  Some newer members may not know our new President - Anna Napier - though she was Easter Carnival Coordinator last year; here's a photo so you can put a face to the name.  Unfortunately social distancing prevented a group photo of all Council members at the AGM.

In line with the recommendation from Orienteering Australia, OWA is suspending all organised orienteering events, including training events until further notice.

We are pursuing permanent/virtual course options to allow people to train individually during this period, and encourage the use of such options within the bounds of any further government restrictions which may be imposed.

If you haven’t done so already, why not check out one or more of the Anytime Orienteering courses while outdoor activities are not too restricted.

Any ideas for activities will be gratefully received and should be forwarded to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for consideration by Council.
