Orienteering NSW is delighted to announce that the Carbine Club of NSW has extended its support of the NSW Schools Orienteering Team.

The Carbine Club is a philanthropic organisation that supports the development of junior sports through sponsorship grants.

The schools team is known as the NSW Carbines in recognition of this support. Funding provided by the Carbine Club helps reduce the costs to team members of competing at the annual Australian Schools Championships.

Since 2001, the Carbine Club has donated more than $50,000 to the NSW junior team. Recently, ONSW was fortunate to again receive a grant of $5,000 for 2015. Pictured here is Tim Cox (Garingal), a member and former chairman of the Carbine Club, accepting the cheque from current chairman Jamie Barkley.

Whenever we can reduce the costs of training and competition camps we can immediately improve the opportunity for participation of all NSW juniors.

The NSW Carbines and Orienteering NSW greatly thank the Carbine Club for their continued support. A special note of thanks is also extended to Tim for his assistance and support as a member of the Carbine Club.
