Great Southern Shorts Help
Friday, 3 June 2011
Hi Australopers - as you know we're running the Great Southern Shorts on the 11/12th June. It's 5 events in 2 days so there's quite a lot of logistical challenges along the way. If anyone is able to stick around for just one of the events and help us get the controls in that would be mighty useful. Thanks in advance! Cathy

New Top Anyone?
Friday, 3 June 2011
If you don't have one of the nice new Australopers shirts (see right) you're probably feeling a bit left out. Well you can rectify this situation by contacting Liz Butler quick smart and she'll sort you out with a new look. Something that says, Stylish, but Fast.. Smart, but Casual... Blue..and White... and a bit of Black..

A bit of another message from El Presidente

Our
next club meeting will be held at Terry Liggins’ home, 4 St Canice Ave, Sandy
Bay at 7.30 pm on Thursday 14 April 2011. All Australopers members are
welcome. The theme will be Orienteering in WA (given the Easter
competition there the following week) with all those who have run in WA
bringing along maps and discussing WA terrain and strategies for success. At
present Australopers has more members taking part in WA than ANY other
non-Western Australian club.

Message from El Presidente
Wednesday, 9 March 2011
To
all Australopers Members (current and recent)
Just
another reminder of this Thursday’s Australopers meeting at Sally and Jeff’s
place:
6 Rupara Avenue
West Hobart
Starting 7.45pm
This is my first Australopers meeting as
president. Australopers monthly meetings have always been very enjoyable
events and I want to retain this by finding a suitable balance between
business, general orienteering and social.
For starters I want to introduce a theme for each
meeting. The theme for this meeting will be tips for fun training.
Tony Mount will speak about and demonstrate his “activity cards” system and Jan Hardy will demonstrate her laminated training
maps scheme.
In addition new social directors Kim Hazeldine and
Gary Carroll are putting together a calendar of social events and we are
looking forward to some good suggestions of possible social events from
members.
Most importantly I want to see heaps of Australopers
members coming along to these meetings, not just a core of office bearers.
Looking forward to seeing lots of you on Thursday.
Cheers
Bert Elson
President, Australopers.

Scrabble O and Pizza-Pasta Night
Sunday, 19 December 2010
To finish off the year in true Australopers form, 40 orienteers headed out to the Domain for a Scrabble O event, and finished off down in Salamanca for a feast of Pasta & Pizza.
With 25 minutes to visit as many public controls as they could, athletes collected their letters and raced back to the finish to make their highest scoring word. Some orienteers raced back with smiles on their faces and words in hand. But many came back disappointed, excuses given:
- I have no vowels
-
The dog ate my clue sheet
-
I can’t read my own writing
-
Can I have more time
-
I thought we doing it in teams
-
Can I buy a vowel?
In the end we had 6 winners:
-
Men - Master Mike Calder JIVER 14 Point
-
Women - Master Jan Hardy JIVED 15 Points
-
Men - Open Stuart Lawrie HEX 13 Points
-
Women – Open Amy & Sarah B CHEDDAR 13 Points
-
Men - Junior Jake West HADJ 14 Points
-
Women – Junior Nicola Marshall JIVED 15 Points
(Note: Blanks were counted as ‘0’ points)
Cusick Team Meeting
Feeding Time
When it came to feeding time, Tony Mount cried ‘Eat, Drink and Be Merry’ and that we did. At last count there were 24 pizzas and 22 pasta dishes ordered - A bit strange for only 40 people, but we must remember not to let David Marshall order his own meal, as he often forgets what he ordered. (Was that Double Chilli, David??).
