Our largest metropolitan schools event is the annual Sydney South West primary schools championships at Camden Equestrian Centre and we are once again expecting around 400 eager students aged 10-12.
Due to conditions underfoot it has been postponed to Wednesday July 27 and we need literally dozens of helpers to make the day run smoothly. Any assistance that orienteers can offer is greatly appreciated by ONSW, our hosts from SHOO and the Department of Education.
There is usually a coffee van on site and helpers will get a basic lunch (pizza!).
Tasks involved include:
* parking attendants
* introductory coaching and map walks
* start official
* finish official
* roving coaches for the age races
* results processing
* general gophers
These championships help to present orienteering for kids in the best possible light. If you can help on the day, please email ONSW Development Officer Lyn Malmgron (lynmalmgron @ pacific.net.au) and state which role you prefer.
