ONSW Executive Officer Paul Prudhoe has won the 2015 President's Award for outstanding contribution to orienteering in NSW.
Paul, a member of the Central Coast club, was president of ONSW from 2008-2014 and helped transition the organisation from a largely amateur oversight body to a vibrant, growing enterprise with five part-time employees.
He is a Level 3 controller, one of only three in the state, and an IOF Event Advisor, and was fundamental to our newest clubs starting up.
Paul (pictured left) has also made great headway in dealing with the many statutory authorities that orienteering must contend with in order to conduct our sport.
The other major awards for 2015 went to:
Club of the Year: Bush n Beach
Encouragement Award: Paula Shingler (Big Foot, pictured)
Rookie of the Year: Jim Mackay (Uringa)
Course Setter of the Year: Ross Barr (Garingal)
Interclub Trophy: Garingal
President's Junior Award: Duncan Currie (Garingal)
A full list of award winners can be found here.
The presentation day coincided with a run around Bicentennial Park at Sydney Olympic Park as part of our Saturday morning series that attracted 71 entries.
The SOS for Term 4 concludes on Saturday at Cherrybrook Technology HS.
We were also able to spruik orienteering to the many Rhodes Parkrunners who were in the same spot from 8-9am, and hope to see some of them come along to a summer series event in the near future.
