I hope you’ve had an adventurous break and are ready to lace up your shoes, grab your compass, and dive into another amazing year of orienteering. I’m grateful to have each of you as part of our orienteering whānau—so here’s to another year of adventure, laughter, and maps that (mostly) make sense! 2026 marks the fiftieth year of Orienteering Wellington and it begins with a bang. Locally, we’ve got our Summer Sprint series—full of testing maps, friendly faces, and rewarding for those who make quick decisions with equally admirable execution! But before we get onto events and club business, I’d first like to recognise our members who received our club cups last year—Alan Horn received the Fortune Cup for services to the club. Alan is one of those people who unfailingly works quietly but tirelessly, keeping check of club gear, managing registrations and downloads, and helping control events. Rachel Baker was awarded the Endeavour Cup for performance, with a particularly strong showing at the Junior World Orienteering Championships last year. See you out there! Beverley Holder President Entries for Nationals 2026 are open! Orienteering Wellington, along with Orienteering Wairarapa, Orienteering Hutt Valley, and Red Kiwis are hosting the New Zealand Orienteering Championships (Nationals) 2026 in the Wairarapa. Entries are open now—there’s only seven weeks to go! The events, with planners and controllers, are: Friday 3 April, Sprint – Rathkeale (Will Vale, Dick Dinsdale) Saturday 4 April, Middle – Rewanui (Malcolm Ingham, Gillian Ingham) Sunday 5 April, Long – Coonoor (Caspar Harmer, Geoff Morrison) Monday 6 April, Relay – Riverside (Yvette Baker, Liz Nicholson and Rob Collier) And here are six things that orienteers are doing to prepare! Sorting accommodation and travel Upping their training and fitness—ONZ has plenty of training resources and ideas Previewing old maps of event areas Setting personal goals for their events and experience—be it fun, focus, few errors or something else! Thinking about how to volunteer Connecting with Orienteering buddies to build the buzz. And when it comes to volunteering—yes, we are looking for people to help out, so if you can offer a hand then get in touch through our contact form. Head to the Nationals website to find out more and enter. Nationals 2026 Kicking off locally with Summer Sprints and CSW Our popular Summer Sprint series is back! Fast-paced, fun, and friendly, these are the perfect events to rekindle your love of orienteering after a day at school or the office. Bring your enthusiasm (and maybe a friend or two!)—it’s all about getting outside and discovering familiar urban and local rural areas in a new way. So, run for your lives at our first sprint at Karori Cemetery this Wednesday. This is followed by sprints at Chilton St Bernards School in the Hutt Valley on Wednesday 18 February, and VUW Kelburn Campus on Wednesday 25 February. We’re also thrilled to continue our partnership with College Sport Wellington (CSW). This series is all about helping our younger members develop confidence, strategy, and a love for orienteering that lasts a lifetime. It’s always inspiring to see so many students giving it their all. Members’ League Jake Hanson has been developing a members’ league to add a bit of collegial competition to CSW and OY events for Orienteering Wellington members aged 16 or older (so as not to be confused with CSW rankings). The idea is that points are weighted to account for age and ability, rather than simply on fastest time. There was strong support for the league at the AGM, which we’ll introduce for this season. There will also be a way for people to opt out of the league if they prefer. Read the details on eligibility, which events qualify, and how points are calculated! Subscriptions By now you’ll have received an invoice for your annual subscription, so it’s time to renew your membership. If you haven’t received your invoice or have a query about your membership, then email Anna Varnham at membership@wellingtonorienteering.org.nz. Look swish! It’s the start of the season so now’s the perfect time to get some club gear. Plus, you can do your bit to look club-proud and awesome at Nationals! Get your gear! Technical tip: Visualise the circle When you look to the next control, how well can you picture exactly what your approach will look like? To know precisely where the control will be placed you need to convert the map into an image in your mind of how the terrain in the control circle will look. Watch the video about developing a clear mental image of stepping stones and handrails, how they relate to each other and how you will flow through them. You should flow though control sites just as you flow through the rest of the leg. Content provided by Orienteering New Zealand Club biz A strong showing of 23 members (about one-quarter of members) attended the Annual General Meeting on 6 December 2025, with a further six apologies noted. Beverley Holder was returned as president, likewise Gerald Crawford as treasurer. Lachlan McKenzie, Jake Hanson and Paul Teesdale-Spittle were also returned to the committee, with Lachlan retaining the role of secretary. Any member can attend a Committee meeting and submit items for discussion. Committee meetings are on the second Sunday of each month from February through to November. The Committee has notionally nominated Saturday, 21 November 2026 for this year’s AGM. Find meeting dates. We’re interested to hear from you as to how you might like to be involved with the club and if you’re keen to support a working group—see the discussion paper. Not all working groups need to be permanent. One suggestion from members who attended AGM 2025 was the need for a focus on training, which was widely supported by all in attendance.
