Peter Meyer, President of SHOO, was the organiser of the Club event at Appin on Sunday 19th June. The map, which has had several incarnations as West Cliff, Dharawal and now Appin, provides great rock and track detail. Normally it is a map that is an organisers dream. Courses can be planned to run through an area of natural beauty around the Georges River, but the map also includes civilisation in the form of Appin Oval to provide other useful facilities. However on Sunday, Peter found that all the recent rain had flooded some of his normal crossing points, and his Oval had a rugby match on it right where he wanted to put his start! With the characteristic shrug of a well seasoned organiser Peter moved his start, and replanned the Red and Orange courses, and thanked his lucky stars for the most beautiful running weather he has seen for a few months. John Russell (SHOO treasurer) won the Red course in 69:30, and Salme Fuller the Orange course, putting more useful points towards the much coveted Golden SHOO, the annual points score competition which also has a junior counterpart, the Little Golden SHOO.
