NSW MTBO Championships and Australian Selection Trials

A small contingent of Victorians travelled to Newcastle by various means for the 3-event Championships and trials on the weekend of 21-22 March.
Victoria was represented by Carolyn and Tim Jackson, Bill Vandendool, Kathy Liley, Heather Leslie and John Gavans, Angus Robinson, Nic Cherry and Leigh Privett.
After a record hot day of 37 degrees on the Friday, the weekend was cooler with overcast skies and intermittent drizzle and one downpour toward the end of Sunday's sprint event.
Muddy tracks and deep puddles and ruts made for some filthy bikes and competitors, particularly after Saturday’s long event.
The Champs were well organised with good maps which made for enjoyable riding for the most part. The long and sprint were near Holmesville and the Middle near Pelaw Main.

BK members, Carolyn Jackson (W21), Angus Robinson (M20) and Heather Leslie (W50) were outstanding in winning all their three races and the M20 Victorian boys had a decisive victory in National Orienteering League (NOL) round 1 points with Angus scoring three 1sts, Tim two 2nds and a 3rd and Nic a 3rd placing.

Angus Robinson nominated and has been selected in the Australian team for the World Junior MTBO to be held in Liberec, Czech Republic, in mid August.

Club Relays

One of the big ones for the year was the Club Relays, with the courses and organisation all proceeding without a hitch.

Many compliments were made about the course setting and organisation. We had 170 + entries which was very reassuring.
Many thanks to Greg Tamblyn and Matt King for all the work they did to make this event a success.

Easter Carnival – SA

Over 20 BK members made the trip to Burra/Jamestown region in SA for the Easter Orienteering carnival. We experienced the full range of weather conditions, but with the help of the club tent we were protected from (a) the sun and (b) the rain, but not the dust!

Congratulations to the following BK competitors:
Peter Collins 1st in M17-20A
Philippa Lohmeyer-2nd in W 45-54 A short
Anne Robinson 4th in W 45-54 AS (Missed a place by 1 min!)
Helen Alexander 1st in W 75 A.
Tim Hatley 4th in M50A
Liz Hatley 5th in W55-64 AS
Mariann Fossum 4th in W Open B
