Entries close this week for our first two big weekends of 2015.
Central Coast is hosting its annual O'Shea 2-Days carnival in the Gwandalan area at the southern end of beautiful Lake Macquarie. This is mainly for pairs, but single entries are welcome, too.
While it has a great social atmosphere (and some participants dress up in wacky matching outfits), the prizes - cakes decorated with spearmint leaf lollies (see pic, left) - are keenly sought after.
The three events are:
* a Saturday afternoon relay at Point Wolstoncroft (State Recreation Area)
* a Saturday eveningight event at Summerland Point - mainly streets and parks. Only one member of pair needs to run the night sector, but both can.
* a Sunday morning Pairs Score event in Gwandalan - the map is newly extended into the bush with a complex track network; so part of the map is bush, and part is streets and parks. Each pair splits the controls up between them, aiming to finish together.
Entries will now close on Thursday. Enter on Day is strictly limited.
On March 7-8 NSW is hosting the opening round of our State League as well as the National League (NOL). This is a triple treat of sprint O, with new maps at Sir Joseph Banks Park in Botany and the Uni of NSW.
Saturday morning's first event is a relay at Sydney Uni. Big Foot even have a nifty little program to help you find a partner for the event. Entries close on Friday. Enter on Day is on offer but pre-entry is again preferred.
