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.

Want to enter an event? You can see what's on by looking at the Coming Events at left or by going to the Event Calendar. Some events are enter on the day - you just turn up and register at the start. Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


Robyn Pallas new president of ONSW

Congratulations to Robyn Pallas who has been elected president of Orienteering NSW amidst a raft of changes to the Board.

Robyn is president of the Central Coast club and at the virtual AGM on Saturday night won a narrow vote over incumbent Greg Barbour (Big Foot), who filled the role for six years.

We also welcome aboard new directors Mary-Jane Mahony (Uringa, secretary), Melanie Christie (Uringa), Jamie Kennedy (Garingal) and Rod Parkin (Bennelong Northside).

All members thank Greg for his service as president and to the other retiring directors Mark Shingler (Big Foot), Michael Ridley-Smith (Garingal) and Anna Fitzgerald (Goldseekers).

The meeting was held by ZOOM and the election for President used electronic voting, both firsts for ONSW. The attendance of 41 members was, we believe, a new record.
