Schools Orienteering Festival

We have 100 children approx. entered in the Schools' Orienteering Festival that was postponed due to the Earthquake - below is news about the event from the organisers:

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for your patience over the last week. I hope that life is returning to some form of normality for most of you while being aware that for many around us that will be a long time coming.

It is hoped to reschedule the Schools Orienteering Festival to Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 November with the sprints on Saturday at Halswell Quarry and the Long on Sunday probably in the Bottle Lake Forest area. These plans are still subject to landowner approval but as we know that term 3 finishes for some of you tomorrow (today by the time you read this) we wanted to bring up to date with our plans.

We will confirm the date and venues as soon as possible and then we will be able to discuss if the original entries are to stand or if we start again and likewise entry fee payments/refunds.

Regards,

Mary Mackintosh

Schools Liaison for

Peninsula and Plains Orienteers.
