Our practical training at Karori Park saw a fantastic turnout of some 50 new and developing orienteers, with a number of members volunteering their time to coach groups around a set course. If you missed these great events and have FOMO, you can check out the maps on the events and results page of our website. Our new Constitution was accepted by members at a Special General Meeting in June. This allows us to comply with the new Incorporated Societies Act 2022, enabling Orienteering Wellington to remain registered as an incorporated society. We hope this Constitution will serve us well, but it is new to our club. If there are things that you don’t feel are working in the best interests of the club then let the Committee know, so that we can bring these to members’ attention for consideration at Annual General Meetings. Beverley Holder President Participants ready themselves for the Whitby night courses. Major events on the horizon Pokapū Regional Championships are just around the corner at Labour Weekend (25 – 7 October), hosted by Red Kiwis. A sprint will be held in Palmerston North, while the long and middle events will be at Santoft forest. Entries open soon—don’t miss this orienteering bonanza! Tūāraki (Northern) Regional Champs (8 – 9 November) will be hosted by Orienteering Bay of Plenty andTaupō Orienteering Club. Events will be near Rotorua, on the Opepe and Lake Okataina maps. Entries are open. Find out more. Our Spring Classic will be on Sunday 23 November on a new map in Waikanae. The Classic is a longstanding endurance event, the course incorporating relay loops (which competitors run solo) followed by a longer conventional course. The M40 class incorporates the Wayne Cretney Memorial that commemorates Wayne, a Wairarapa orienteer who was tragically killed in an accident in 1988 at the age of 44. All Orienteering Wellington members are invited to our End‑of‑year social on Saturday 6 December! It’s a great chance to look back on and celebrate a busy year, swap stories, and agonise over “the run that got away”. More details coming soon. 50th‑Birthday celebrations: Orienteering Wellington turns 50 next year—our golden jubilee! That’s quite a milestone, and we’ll be marking the occasion with festivities in the middle of next year. Stay tuned! Young ‘uns, young guns! Younger Orienteering Wellington members shone in Europe. Rachel Baker was part New Zealand’s Junior World Orienteering Champs team in Trentino, Italy (26 June – 3 July). She placed 65 in the sprint, 21 in the long, and 39 in the middle, and was a member of the sprint and forest relay teams that placed 42 and 15 respectively. Rachel went on to the World Orienteering Champs in Kuopio, Finland (8 – 12 July), where she brought the Women’s relay team into eighteenth position after the first leg. She also placed 38 in the middle-distance event. Jake McLellan smashed his way to seventh place at the Junior World Orienteering Champs sprint, 28 on the long and 75 for the middle event. The men’s relay team of which he was part placed 15. We’re super proud of Rachel and Jake, who performed outstandingly. Another of our young stars, Morag McLellan, was selected to represent New Zealand at the European Youth Orienteering Champs Brno, Czechia (17 – 20 July) but sadly unable to attend. And a correction… Our May newsletter featured Jake McLellan’s massive (non-orienteering) achievement of winning the Tararua Mountain Race. His win was significantly more epic than stated – a chip time of 5:07:12 (some two hours less than we gave him credit for!). Our apologies, Jake. Quiz: Which map? This may not have been your course, but do you recognise this recent map? The answer is at the bottom. Explore our permanent courses We’ve been checking our two permanent courses – on Wellington’s Waterfront and Matairangi (Mount Victoria) – are in order and that maps and plaques are current. These central city DIY courses are perfect for training, casual outings, or introducing others to orienteering. Please explore them and share them with your friends!

Explore permanent courses Nationals at Easter 2026 – Pack your bags for the Wairarapa At Easter 2026 (3-6 April), Orienteering Wellington is leading the charge to host the NZ Orienteering Championships (Nationals), with support from Red Kiwis, Orienteering Hutt Valley and Orienteering Wairarapa. Events will be in the Wairarapa and embargoed areas have been published on the ONZ website: · Sprint: Rathkeale College, Masterton · Middle: Rewanui Forest Park, Blairlogie (east of Masterton) · Long: Coonoor, east of Pahiatua · Relay: Riverside Farm, northwest of Masterton Nationals 2026 Nationals will likely attract more than 500 orienteers from around New Zealand and promises to be a standout event—please help make it legendary, both as a competitor and on the volunteer squad. Speaking of which….. You are key to our events! Your help at events makes all the difference—whether it’s on the computer, starts, registration, control collection, set-up, pack-down, parking or something else, we need hands on deck. Helping is a great way to meet others and don’t worry if you haven’t done a job before—we’ll show you the ropes. You don’t have to be a member to help either, and all volunteers enjoy a free run at that event. We are always looking for people who are interested in planning or controlling events. If this sounds like you then get in touch or rock on up to the desk at the next event. If you haven’t planned an event before then we’ll make sure you’re paired with someone who can help. The key thing is to allow plenty of time to realise your best possible courses. We’ve also published some basic resources specific to Orienteering Wellington events, which are a “must read” for all planners and controllers.

Unfortunately, many of the people I see stopped at the lights are on seriously terrible bikes. I’m see rusty, too-big or too-small mountain bikes with brakes that barely work and people look unconfident and uncomfortable on their bikes. Riding the wrong bike can actually make cycling seriously not fun. Recently several of my colleagues have gotten bicycles with the intention of cycling to work. I have noticed that they too seem to have missed some items that to me are essential for bike commuting.

Historically, racing at this venue has been in the wet, and under these conditions simply getting a bike down the track becomes a game of survival. But on this occasion, Karori turned it on for riders. At the end of racing - Daniel Meilink took out the Open Men category ahead of Michael Mells and Bryn Dickerson. In Masters 1 & 2 - Nathan Timoko and Ali Quinn claimed the top spots respectively. And the juniors were dominated by the Macdonalds - with Finlay taking out under 17 and brother Lachie, under 15. Current National Champ Sarah Atkin recorded a very respectable time that would have put her just outside top 10 in Open Men, and Finn van Leuven also put down a solid time in Hardtail. We’ll catch everyone at the final WDHS round this Saturday, 6th December at Maidstone. Race Results & Series Points Juvie & Duel Slalom Grand Opening Crews and contractors have been hard at work at Miramar of the past months and we’ve recently seen the completion of two new tracks - Juvenile Delinquent, and the Kids Duel Slalom. The sum of these, combined with the pump track and dirt jumps is a great zone for kids and beginners to hone their skills, only minutes from the City. The grand opening of Juvie and the Kids Duel Slalom last weekend was a huge success. About 150 people turned up to mark the occasion on Sunday, including City Councillors and Mayor, Celia Wade Brown. Once the tape was cut, Mayor Celia spoke positively of the Club’s recent work at Miramar and Island Bay. South Coast Kids Track Wins Another Award You may recall that earlier this year, the Club received a Wellington Airport Community Award for its work on the South Coast Kids Track. Well last week the Kids Track did it again - this time at the 2014 NZ Recreation Association Awards. The annual awards recognise excellence in the recreation and leisure industry, and the South Coast Kids Track was named Most Outstanding Project. Thanks once again to Wellington City Council, Trail Fund NZ, Bike Wellington, Revolve Cycling and Southstar Trails.  Draft Suburban Reserves Management Plan Submissions close this Friday 5th on the WCC Draft Suburban Reserves Management Plan. This is the last opportunity members of the public will have to share their views on the future management of Wellington’s suburban reserves - between Khandallah and Miramar (including Makara). This plan will have a significant impact on the future of mountain biking in our city, and the planning process only comes around once every 10 years. So, if you have a few spare minutes and a desire to see the WCC supporting mountain biking in our suburban reserves, get in there.   Upcoming Events WDHS Round 3 - Maidstone - THIS SATURDAY The final round of the 2014 Wellington Downhill Series will take place THIS SATURDAY, 6th December at Maidstone, Upper Hutt. Check the WMTBC website for details and online registration. Online registration closes Friday, 5pm. Enter online >> The Club would also like to welcome Adrenaline MTB as the event’s major sponsor. **VOLUNTEERS** Race marshals and drivers are urgently needed for this event. We greatly appreciate any help offered. If interested - please contact events@wmtbc.org.nz. WORD Bike-a-Polooza - Sunday Dec 7th This Sunday at the Wainuiomata Trails - WORD invites you to join them for the first Bike-a-Polooza - New Zealand's best, super fun, and raddest kids mountain bike event ever! There will be four great courses to choose from on the day - so something for all the 3-17 year olds. Cost: $15 individual, $40 family of 3 kids. For more info and online registration check out WORD Bike-a-Polooza Escape from Mt Crawford Mini Enduro - Jan 19th, 2015 The third annual Escape from Mt Crawford Mini Enduro is upcoming - Wellington Anniversary weekend, January 19th. We’ve run the annual fundraiser for the Miramar Track Project for the past couple of years, and 2015 will undoubtedly be the biggest yet. As per last year, we’ll be running two classes - Misdemeanor and Felony, plus the Sufferfest hill climb, and we’re throwing in a Kids Mini D for the little rippers. Also, in breaking news - Yeastie Boys have just come on board as a sponsor. This is great news if you like beer.   Online entries opening later this month Event Details >> Klunkers, Chainless & Kids Bike Dual Slalom - Jan 24th, 2015 After a successful event earlier this year, Klunkers is back! The aim of the race is simple: dig out your old kit and 90s race weapon, do as many timed runs of Jailbrake as your body (or bike) will permit within 2 ½ hours, and heckle like you’ve never heckled. There will be four categories: Klunkers, Chainless, proKlunkers and Klunkers (under 12), and an additional Kids Bike Dual Slalom race. Entry is by donation of old (useful) bike parts, cash, or your bike. All proceeds go to Biketech and the Mechanical Tempest. Event Details >> Trail Building Updates Clinical (Polhill Reserve) As you may recall from the last Polhill update, The Brooklyn Trail Builders reported significant progress on Clinical. When it’s complete, the track will round off a grand loop of the Reserve. Most of the track is now rideable, and it’s set for completion sometime during early 2015. Currently, contractors are finishing construction of bridges on the trail, and volunteers are working on approximately 200m at the bottom. Although this section is incomplete, there’s a steep track that can be used to bypass it. The next dig is this coming Sunday, 7th December at 3pm. Details over at Brooklyn Trail Builders. There will be an event to commemorate the official opening of Clinical, tentatively around April 2015. We’ll keep you posted. We would also like to congratulate BTB whose work was this week recognised at the Roll on Wellington Cycle Awards. Mt Victoria Thanks to all those who contributed recently to the Mt Victoria trail user survey. We’re currently compiling the results, but feedback was largely positive. In case you missed it - here’s the full rundown. But in short, the WCC has requested that changes be made to the lower part of the Super D line. The Club, in consultation with trail leaders and the Council, has come up with a plan that involves essentially realigning the trail, from the SPCA south. In addition, the plan includes work around busy junctions to reduce the risk of conflict with other trail users. No major work will take place on Mt Victoria until the new year. We’ll keep you updated.  Want to keep in touch?

After promising results in recent weeks, we were looking to complete a trifecta of wins against the top 3 teams. 1st place Karori would pose a different threat, difficult to break down and dangerous at set pieces. BNU started the stronger side, quickly settling into our rhythm, knocking the ball around confidently and dominating midfield. There were appeals for a BNU goal after the ball may have crossed the line, a mass of bodies made it difficult for the ref to see and had to wave play on. After 20 minutes of dominance, we fell off the pace a little, inviting Karori back into the game. Karori were awarded a free kick after 27 minutes. They threw a number of players forward and made it count with a strong headed finish to go 1-nil up with their only clear cut chance of the half. We didn't panic and kept at Karori. Paul Clune squeezed home from a tight angle, to equalise seconds before the break. 1-1 at half time. karori match-reports places sport brooklyn soccer Tue, 04 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bnu.org.nz/match-reports/49-1st-team-match-reports-2013/345-bnu-1sts-v-waterside-karori-1st-june-2013 Brooklyn Northern United AFC 2013-06-04T00:00:00Z -41.28590645 174.724083520652 Karori Park, Karori, Wellington, 6012, New Zealand/Aotearoa http://www.bnu.org.nz/match-reports/36-bnu-platoon-red-match-reports/287-bnu-platoon-red-v-karori-8-may-2011 Wot the dickens??!!  It’s a Sunday afternoon and we’re playing football…. karori places brooklyn soccer sport match-reports Sat, 28 May 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bnu.org.nz/match-reports/36-bnu-platoon-red-match-reports/287-bnu-platoon-red-v-karori-8-may-2011 Brooklyn Northern United AFC 2011-05-28T00:00:00Z -41.2844173 174.7444792 Karori, Wellington, New Zealand http://www.bnu.org.nz/teams-mainmenu-6/27-pilsner/205-bnu-pilsner-v-karori-magpies-19th-june-2010 Karori Magpies 3 v BNU Pilsner 3 HT 1-2   A striking partnership   Ahhh those great striking partnerships, they just roll of the tongue…. karori places brooklyn soccer sport match-reports Mon, 21 Jun 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bnu.org.nz/teams-mainmenu-6/27-pilsner/205-bnu-pilsner-v-karori-magpies-19th-june-2010 Brooklyn Northern United AFC 2010-06-21T00:00:00Z -41.2844173 174.7444792 Karori, Wellington, New Zealand http://www.bnu.org.nz/news-mainmenu-4/6-general-news/200-latest-match-reports BNU Pilsner v Karori Magpies 22nd May 2010 BNU Masters 3 v Western Suburbs  15 May 2010 BNU Pretenders v Tawa  2nd May 2010 BNU 3rds v Marist Inter  1st May 2010 BNU Pilsner v Miramar Rangers  1st May 2010 BNU Masters 3 v Seatoun PPL  1st May 2010 Petone Pure v BNU Pretenders  25th April 2010 BNU Pretenders v Waikanae  18th April 2010 tawa miramar karori seatoun places brooklyn soccer sport Tue, 01 Jun 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bnu.org.nz/news-mainmenu-4/6-general-news/200-latest-match-reports Brooklyn Northern United AFC 2010-06-01T00:00:00Z -41.3246143 174.8320065 Seatoun http://www.stopout.org.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=266:senior-draw-april-10-a-11&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=105 Saturday 10thChamps Premier League:Naenae vs Freeheat Stop Out - - - Naenae 1, 2:30pmCapital 2: Tawa B vs Stop Out at Kura, 2:30pmCapital 9: Wgtn Utd Salmon vs Stop Out at MacAlister #2, 12:30pmCapital 11: Stop Out vs Uni Rangers at Hutt Park #2, 2:30pmMasters 2: Waterside Turtles vs Reds at Karori #3, 2:30pmMasters 4: Seatoun B vs Blacks at Seatoun, 12:30pmMasters 5: McCreadie vs Petone at Hutt Park #3, 2:30pmSunday 11thDivision 1: Stop Out vs Brooklyn at Hutt Park #1, 1:00pmDivision 4: Tawa vs Stop Out at Onepoto #2, 1:00pm    brooklyn seatoun karori tawa places huttvalley soccer sport Mon, 05 Apr 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.stopout.org.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=266:senior-draw-april-10-a-11&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=105 Stop Out Sports Club 2010-04-05T00:00:00Z -41.1681676 174.8247761 Tawa, Wellington, New Zealand http://karorianglican.org.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=210:news-for-sunday-14-february-2010&catid=24&Itemid=117 Wellington Hill WalkWhere: Highbury–Brooklyn and return, leader Grant Preston-ThomasWhen:  21 February, 12. brooklyn places religiousgroups communitygroups karori wcnhosted anglican Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://karorianglican.org.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=210:news-for-sunday-14-february-2010&catid=24&Itemid=117 Karori Anglican Churches 2010-02-14T00:00:00Z -41.3068649 174.7620585 Brooklyn, Wellington, New Zealand http://www.bnu.org.nz/teams-mainmenu-6/24-bnu-div-16/94-bnu-div-16-18042009 BNU 16 2 v Karori Kittenz 7 Karori were certainly no pussies, demonstrating deadly skills on the counter attack on a hard McAllister Park pitch.
