Since 2001 the Carbine Club of NSW, a philanthropic organisation that supports the development of junior sports through sponsorship grants, has supported the NSW Schools Orienteering Team.
The team is known as the NSW Carbines in recognition of this support.
Funding provided by the Carbine Club helps reduce the costs to team members of competing at the Australian Schools Championships.
Over the 12 years of continuous support the Carbine Club has donated more than $35,000 to the NSW junior team. This year ONSW was fortunate to again receive a grant of $5,000 for 2013, presented by Carbine Club member Tim Cox (L) to ONSW president Paul Prudhoe recently (pictured).
Whenever we can reduce the costs of training and competition camps we can immediately improve the opportunity for participation of all NSW juniors.
The NSW Carbines and Orienteering NSW greatly thank the Carbine Club for their continued support. A special note of thanks is also extended to Tim Cox for his assistance and support as a member of the Carbine Club.
