Kia ora koutou During the last two months there has been some great local orienteering. A big thanks to Red Kiwis for an excellent Pokapū regional champs weekend over Labour weekend. This was really well organised, on great maps, and with excellent course setting. I made a big muck up of the night event but totally loved it. Our club members were right behind Red Kiwis too—a big thank you to Gillian and Lizzie Ingham, as well as to Rob Collier for being there every day to help run the finish. Our Wednesday night events have started up and are highly recommended. Our first offering was in Seatoun, planned by Demelza Robinson and controlled by Luis Slyfied. Our Wednesday events are great for everyone, with start times between 6-7pm, and two or three short courses that hopefully don’t leave you at sixes and sevens! Great fun for everyone! About a month ago, friends and I were in Queensland at the Australian Orienteering Championships and associated events—of which there were 7 events in 9 days. We thoroughly enjoyed the orienteering and the camaraderie of staying together in a shared house during that week away. If you’re lucky enough to be heading overseas and get the opportunity to try orienteering in totally foreign terrain and conditions then I thoroughly recommend the experience. One thing I’d like to see next year is a growing and active membership. Membership brings rewards—being more involved in the sport, attending training events, a sense of belonging and making new friends. To that end, come to our AGM and social on Saturday 6 December, which is great chance to connect with others in your sport. And, next year, don’t just tell your friends about orienteering—make it your resolution to bring em’ along! Yours in orienteering, Beverley Holder President Annual General Meeting and potluck social Mark your calendars: Saturday, 6 December is our AGM and potluck social. We’ll start with a fun event at 4pm, followed by the meeting at 5pm. The AGM will include the President and Treasurer’s report, and an overview of the year. We will also confirm the draft minutes for 2024. This year we also passed a new Constitution and will need to elect a smaller Committee for 2026: President Treasurer 3 other officers. The Secretary will be appointed from within the Committee. The Committee will also be supported by working parties reporting into the Committee, but these are not elected roles. This is a bit of change, and we’re open to hearing what working groups you think would be useful and may like to be part of going forward. If you would like to stand for the Committee, or have any queries, please contact Lachlan McKenzie, Secretary at secretary@wellingtonorienteering.org.nz This is a chance to celebrate the year, discuss plans, and enjoy time together and great food! Details will follow soon—don’t miss it! RSVP to AGM and potluck social Nationals 2026 We’re pulling together with neighbouring clubs to host next year’s New Zealand Orienteering Championships in the Wairarapa. The first bulletin is out!… you can find this on the Nationals website. Club members Will Vale, Dick Dinsdale, Caspar Harmer, Gillian Ingham, Yvette Baker and Rob Collier are all involved in the courses, as are supporters and stalwarts Malcolm Ingham, Geoff Morrison and Liz Nicholson.

Mapsport and other specialist vendors stock a range of orienteering gear, including compasses, dibbers, and accessories. Visit https://www.mapsport.co.nz or your local supplier to ensure you’re race-ready. The “Classic” Don’t miss the Classic on Sunday 23 November at Waikanae! Originally held in winter, the “Classic” is an endurance event that is both physically and mentally demanding. The event takes the form of a one-person relay with a pivot control and a series of loops—meaning you get the thrill of trying all loops and legs yourself! A rogaine is also offered as part of the Classic. The event was founded by the Wairarapa Orienteering Club, and the M40 class incorporates the Wayne Cretney Memorial in memory of Wayne Cretney, a Wairarapa member tragically killed in a work accident in 1987.

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.

Building a road and saving 30 seconds
- Wellington Scoop
- One of the most extraordinary things about plans to bulldoze a road through the pristine Takapu Valley is the claim about how much time will be saved. They’re counting the savings in seconds. The claim is found in an Appendix to the controversial report in which the chief executives of regional councils tell their mayors that they ought to support a road through the valley.
