2000 Kowen, ACT

2000 ACT and Australian MTBO Championships

Weekend Report

Thanks to all competitors who participated at the 3rd Australian MTB Orienteering Championships at Kowen Homstead. I tried to organise the weather but could only really guarantee the sunny conditions on the Saturday, I had used up all my favours by the Sunday…. Nevertheless I hope all competitors enjoyed the day and I’ll see you all again at next year’s National Champs in NSW (3/4 November)

But most importantly I would like to help the many helpers who made the two days a success….

– Bronywn Wiseman and Michael Carden on the Saturday Start/Finish
– Paul Mason for course setting/vetting/setting up Saturday
– Kevin Paine on Rego and Sunday setup
– Peter Bradbury, Michael Derlacki, Melaine McIntyre & Gaye Camm on the Sunday Start
– Dave Baldwin and Julie Quinn for dragging in the flags on Saturday
– Emily Viner and Tom Walter sign collection
– Nathan Carroll and Stacey Potter on Finish Sunday
– Gary Caitcheon for rego Saturday and everywhere Sunday
– Wayne Gregson, John and Ann Scown for general help both days
– Peter Searle for trailer ferrying & Sunday setup
– Bob Allison who largely created the Kowen Homestead map
– Gayle Radstaak for her help in the ACTOA office and banking the $$
– Belinda Allison for painting the classy mug trophies
– ACT Forests for permission to use the area
– Mal Adjusted Cycles for the Spot prizes

Thanks!
Dave Searle
