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.

      • Orienteering Wellington - Afterwork series and AGM Spring sees us back in full swing—read on to find out more! View this email in your browser Tis the season for Afterwork Orienteering and our Christmas AGM Mihi nui kia <> Our start to spring has been a bit quiet locally but now we have plenty of news for November! Next weekend is the 37th Anniversary of the Wayne Cretney Classic, organised by Bryan Teahan. It’ll be a true endurance event using new maps around Mornington and Berhampore. Red medium, Orange, Yellow and White courses on-the-day courses are still available. We also have a club events in the pipeline, including afterwork events at Onslow College on Wednesday 15 November and Te Herenga Waka VUW campus on Wednesday 29 November. Orienteering Hutt Valley will also offer some afterwork events before Christmas and the annual Big Trig rogaine on Sunday 10 December. See you at the next event! Paul Teesdale-Spittle President Club achievements at Nationals Orienteering Wellington can celebrate a number of achievements from the NZ National Orienteering Championships held in Hawke’s Bay recently. Many members placed well, especially some of our veteran runners. Here are some of the standout achievements – which in no way overshadow the satisfaction and personal success all runners should feel irrespective of where they finished. In the sprint, Lauren Wills came first in W40A, as did Gillian Ingham in W65A, Neil Kane in M75A and Don Locke in M85A. Mattias Bengtsson took second place in M10, as did Lisa Bengtsson in W40A and Dorothy Kane in W75A. In the middle distance, Yvette Baker took first in W50A. So too did Gillian Ingham in W65A, Neil Kane in M75A and Don Locke in M85A. David King took second place in M60A, as did Kate Fortune in W75A. The long event on the Tuna Nui map was a standout whereby seven members came first in their grades: Katie Cory-Wright in W21A, Lisa Bengtsson in W21AS, Sarah O’Sullivan in W35A, William Power in M40AS, and David Middleton in M55AS. Gillian Ingham and Neil Kane took triple crowns, coming first in their classes too. Lara Molloy was hot on Katie’s heels coming second in W21A, as did Lauren Wills in W40A, Yvette Baker in W50A, and David King in M60A. We have a lot to be proud of from this year’s Nationals, and can look forward to taking spirit of fun and success to Rotorua next year. Snaps from National 2023 of club competitors and our relay team. Photos courtesy of Helen Howell. Annual General Meeting Our AGM will be on Saturday 9 December, so mark this in your calendar now. We’ll confirm the venue and details soon but our gathering tends to include plenty of time for orienteering antics, food and socialising as well as business. The Fortune Cup for service and Endeavour Cup for performance are also awarded. On the topic of business, club officers must be elected. I, Lachlan, and Gerald are all happy to stand again as president, secretary and treasurer respectively but equally happy to step aside if you’d like to have a go. Similarly, email Lachlan if you’re interested in serving on the committee in a different way. Look fit with new kit! Finally, our new gear has arrived and orders are ready to be distributed! There are several options to collect your gear: Collect from Anna Varnham at home Collect from Anna at Samuel Marsden Collegiate, 8am – 5.30pm Collect at one of our not-to-be-missed coming events. Email Anna at to let her know your preference. It’d be great if you could arrange collection at your earliest possible convenience. Extra stock is available across a range of sizes – so if what you ordered isn't perfect, there may be an option to swap. Note it seems the supplier has not included the mesh panel on the white shirts—and we’re unlikely to send them back! Sarah O’Sullivan to lead ONZ Congratulations to Sarah O’Sullivan, who has been elected Chair of Orienteering New Zealand from December! Sarah was our own club president immediately before Paul and has been active in the club for many years. Sarah runs elite grades at major events. We’re really excited for Sarah and know she’ll lead ONZ extremely capably. She is the second woman to hold the position of chair after our own Jane Harding. Here she is modelling the new club kit! 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.

You should flow though control sites just as you flow through the rest of the leg. Content provided by Orienteering New Zealand Fitter, faster, better together! Magnus Bengtsson and Lizzie Ingham are continuing with group interval and sprint training at 6pm Tuesdays. You’ll get to build fitness running along the flat, up hills, or maybe a mix—and doing intervals as a group is much more motivating than doing intervals on your own. This training is primarily for Orienteering Wellington members but anyone is welcome to attend for free. The location is movable, so email Magnus if you’re keen. Looking ahead: Major events in 2024 Sprint clinic Orienteering Wellington will hold a Sprint Clinic on Saturday 20 to Monday 22 January (Wellington Anniversary Weekend) on local sprint maps. This is deliberately held ahead of the Oceania Sprint Championships but will be useful for any runner looking to develop their sprint skills. Find out more about the Sprint Clinic Oceania Sprint Champs 2024 Oceania is a trans-Tasman sprint championship, next year hosted by Orienteering Taranaki with their Lonely Mountain Sprints (26-29 January) and Auckland Orienteers with the Auckland Triple Crown (3-6 February). Lonely Mountain includes six sprints as well as a knock-out championship and relay championship, while the Triple Crown has three sprint races and Oceania Sprint Championship. Enter or find out more about Oceania 2024 NZ National Orienteering Champs in Rotorua Nationals 2024 will be held by Orienteering Bay of Plenty in Rotorua and Taupō over Easter (Friday 29 March – Monday 1 April). The maps are shaping up to be fantastic and this is a great part of the country fora family holiday if you need to coax others who aren’t so fussed on orienteering!
