The inaugural South Coast schools orienteering gala day resulted in many happy, excited students discovering the joys of our sport. Development Officer Lyn Malmgron, Kev Curby and the IKO crew impressed the teachers with the introductory coaching and then the courses set around the Croom Regional Sporting Complex at Albion Park late last month. A total of 74 students took part and this week's Illawarra Mercury report and photo gallery shows our sport in a great light. We now have 8 of the 10 NSW school sporting regions hosting schools champs or gala days. Congratulations to everyone involved as we showcase orienteering to new audiences.
