A phenomenal turnout of 132 meant we ran out of maps on the final day of our 2017 ASC expansion program on Sunday.
The free Berowra Heights event was held in conjunction with Central Coast's summer series and had the little club run off their feet as 96 newcomers joined three dozen regulars on a gorgeous late spring morning at Warrina Street Oval.
Our overworked but overjoyed organiser Paul Prudhoe reports: "It never stopped from just before 9am until about 10.30 or so.
"A few people competed at more than one event, while one primary school lad and his mum did all 3 days, running about 20km all up."
The three events at Berowra had just on 200 participants all up - plus at least two large lizards.
The encouraging attendances in northern Sydney, Singleton and Port Macquarie over the past five weeks have generated lots of interest in orienteering and may lead to a new club forming.
We have more weekends to deliver early next year in the Upper Hunter Valley and on the mid north coast, so stay tuned and let any friends in those areas know we are coming!
ONSW thanks all the mappers, organisers, setters, helpers and results people who delivered these programs - and equal thanks to the landowners and girl guide groups for permissions.
