|
Approved by ONSW Board: 24 June 2025 |
|
Effective date of new policy: 1 July 2025 |
|
Extent of Manual Update: New Policy and Register |
|
Reason for Update and Relevance: This is a new policy and register to complement the Equal Prize Money Plan which ONSW produced in 2024 as a Milestone requirement of the Organisation Support Program (OSP). It formalises prize money policy for ONSW and Member Clubs, outlines the reporting and endorsement requirements, and establishes a register for historical purposes.
The Register will be updated when prize money for events is proposed, changed or recurs. When an event already listed is conducted in a subsequent year, a new entry will be made in the Register to ensure it remains a historical register. The Board will endorse the register changes as and when required. NOTE 4.2: Within 30 days of the introduction of this policy, Member Clubs must advise the ONSW Secretary of any existing prize money arrangements which are not currently listed in the ONSW Prize Money Register. This information will then be incorporated into the Prize Money Register. |

Miriam Meischke will take on the role of Schools Development Officer for ONSW.
Miriam is in her tenth year as a member of Southern Highlands Orienteers, becoming treasurer earlier this year. Miriam has been coaching orienteering in schools for the past 6 years, which she really enjoys doing, after being encouraged to consider coaching by a club member.
After 10 years of homeschooling her children, the youngest has started full-time work, Miriam is ready to take on a new challenge.
Miriam originally started orienteering as a summer sport for her children and has continued to enjoy participating at different levels.
When she is not orienteering, you may find her: travelling, especially to The Philippines; involved in Medieval Martial Arts (with her sons); at her local Park Run; Swimming (if it’s not too cold in the ocean pool); involved in her Church; sewing and whatever else takes her fancy.
