The coldest night
Wednesday, 15 May 2013
Tuesday night last week at Newport was a tad cool but nothing like the icy blasts that we experienced at the Moonee Ponds event. The courses -set by Liz Mulquinney and Margaret Micaleff were very well planned -and had everyone trying to figure out the best options! For first time course setters this was a great effort. Before the event at 5.00 o'clock, we thought that if 30 turned up it would be a good effort. In fact we had a very respectable 53, on what was arguably the worst night so far this year. A reminder. Next week is our wind up/presentation night at the Yarraville club. Come along for a very pleasant evening.

Tuesday Western Series
Welcome to the Tuesday Western Series - Park and Street orienteering in Melbourne's west.
Where: Western suburbs of Melbourne
When: 7:00pm Tuesdays.
Cost: $4 per event for adults, $2 for juniors/students
The Western Series offers a diverse and arguably unique range of venues, from the elegance of Albert Park, Essendon and Williamstown right through to the vibrant newer suburbs in the outer west.
It embraces the charming inner suburbs such as the old towns of Newport and Footscray.
Many events border the water's edge, the Maribyrnong and Yarra River, and the Bay at Port Melbourne.
Park and Street Orienteering offers an excellent opportunity for discovering all of these places.
Many of the river valleys can be surprisingly steep and might require more thoughtful route choices. But generally, Melbourne's West embraces comparatively flat terrain.
Most of the inner suburb maps include a suburban train line to be negotiated, whether it be boom gates, road bridge, pedestrian bridge or subway. It all adds to the satisfying challenge of the route choices.
All Park and Street Orienteering events welcome people of all abilities and ages. There are a range of courses that accommodate both the elite sports person right through to people who are just looking for a good walk to help stay in shape.
Family and friends can participate in groups or individually.
The Western Series operates in twilight during the Daylight Saving months and also operates an extremely popular Autumn night series.
You will always find frendly and helpful people to assist you have an enjoyable experience. Your feedback is always welcome.
