Orienteering NSW - Andrew Lumsden honoured with President's Award

Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

Big Foot stalwart Andrew Lumsden has been honoured with the President's Award for 2018 for decades of outstanding service to orienteering in NSW.

Andrew started in orienteering in the early 1970s in Victoria and quickly became one of Australia’s most promising juniors.

Since then he has worked countless hours unpaid on orienteering over the past 30 years including controlling major carnivals, mapping, negotiating landowner access and creating the framework of technical systems that ensures the quality of our events.

A new award this year is Volunteer of the Year. This went to Garingal couple John and Liz Bulman who readily assist at school regional carnivals, school programs, Space Racing, the SOS and promotional events.

We congratulate our major award winners:

President's Junior Award - Alastair George (Big Foot)
Club of the Year - WHO
Course Setter of the Year - Colin Price (Central Coast)
