New Zealand Orienteering Federation (Inc)
NZOF NEWS - OCTOBER 2000
NZOF Council would like to congratulate John Robinson on his appointment
as NZ National Orienteering Squad Coaching Co-ordinator. Robbie is well
known to most people in NZ as a successful orienteer, and earlier as an
international runner, and has previously held this coaching position.
The following WMOC equipment is for sale:
-
115 control stands are selling at $5 each and are made of aluminium angle
plate shaped like an upside L. They have one clipper and one large ear
tag [that meets the IOF size requirements] attached. They are designed
to take the Sport Ident baseplate.
-
2 purpose built drink tables [they have a series of round holes cut to
fit plastic cups] Offers?
-
4 large steel Result boards. These are large and heavy and unfortunately
cannot be transported on the back of a trailer. WMOC had to use small trucks
to transport them. They are made of steel wire mesh and would only be useful
for a large event.
A reminder notice to Clubs who may be setting subscriptions for next year.
"NZ Orienteering" magazine will go up by $1 per issue in 2001. Affiliations
for NZOF will remain as at present : $11 junior (20 and under at end of
year), $18 senior, $47 family ( 2 seniors living at the same address and
any number of juniors[not earning an income] at that same address who look
to at least one of those seniors as a parent)
Two items that will be discussed at the next Council meeting on 3 November
will be
-
Should the badge scheme be scrapped?
-
Should an official National Veteran Squad be formed?
NZOF Council would welcome any feedback on these topics
The new JWOC policy is attached. Would Clubs
