Our awesome Australian championships carnival in Bathurst and Hill End last year is in the running for the Sport NSW Event of the Year.
Featuring maps of some mind-boggling new gold-mining terrain along with a couple of old favourites, the carnival enjoyed record entries and unprecedented media coverage (TV crews came to 5 of the 7 events).
The carnival was 3 years in the making using a significant number of orienteering volunteers from several NSW clubs. The estimated economic return to the region is considered to be $0.5-1 million.
The winners will be announced at the 2018 NSW Champions of Sport Ceremony on Tuesday November 27 at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse. Carnival organiser Barbara Junghans and husband Ron will be at the awards. Fingers crossed!
ONSW encourages our clubs and members to nominate worthy candidates for these awards each year. Click here for more information.
