ONSW Club of the Year is awarded to a club showing a high level of achievement in promotion, membership, event organisation and competition, and has added to the enjoyment of the sport in NSW.

This award recognised Goldseekers Orienteers’ initiative in promotion and support of orienteering, and the club’s support of NSW State League events, especially for stepping up for the NSW Long Championships at short notice.

The President’s Award is presented annually to a member or members for outstanding service to orienteering in NSW.

The ONSW 2022 Junior Development Team (led by Helen O’Callaghan (Bush ‘n’ Beach Orienteers), Jenny Enderby and Bjorn Mella (both Newcastle Orienteers) and the large support team of parents and juniors behind the scenes received the 2022 President’s Award. The commitment and work of this team of supporters is a substantial contribution to encouraging growth in participation at the junior level. 2022 saw NSW juniors well represented both in the formally selected NSW Schools Team (the Carbines) and in participation in the Junior Development Team.

The Rookie of the Year Award is presented to a new orienteer with limited orienteering experience (up to two seasons) showing improvement in competition standard.

While Stephanie Nicholls (Garingal Orienteers) orienteered early in her life during her school days, she didn’t continue.

She returned in 2021 and started adult orienteering with intensity!

Stephanie topped Women’s Open B (moderate) in the 2022 NSW State League.

She also won the 2022 Metro League Individual Medal for Division 6.

Feeling prepared now to take on the challenge of more Hard courses in 2023, she has already competed in W50A in two sprint events.
