In F Class, Ben Goodwin came out on top with an excellent possible in his second stage.  Darren Bradley shot Match Rifle and put in a couple of good stages.  

Scott Brindley shot Target Rifle with his .223 as the .308 looks like it needs a new barrel. There is no doubt the little rifle shoots well, only dropping one point.

Thanks to those who came out early and did some target maintenance.  

Next weekend will be a 500 Yard shoot to make up for one we missed previously.  We have some more work to do in the morning to prepare the range for inspection.

SOME of Australia’s best orienteers will be participating in the Australian Three Day Orienteering event to be conducted around Wagga over the Queens Birthday Long Weekend.

Each event over the three days will be different. In length and terrain. 

Saturday will be a Middle Distance event in and around the hills and rocks at Connorton about 10 km south of Wagga. 

Sunday will be a Long Distance event in open forest with a scattering of rocks at the Murraguldrie State Forest about 50km south of Wagga. Monday will be a Sprint Distance event around the Boorooma Street campus of CSU.

Almost 500 orienteers have entered. ACT is sending a very strong contingent including 2012 Olympian Martin Dent.

WaggaRoo Briohny Davey will be representing NSW as a member of the NSW Stingers team competing in the W21 Elite class. She will face stiff competition from former WaggaRoo Shannon Jones, who now competes for the ACT Cockatoos and Jo Allison (also ACT Cockatoos) current W45 World Master Orienteering Champion and ranked as number two female orienteer in Australia.

The M21 Elite class will be a hotly contest affair. Simon Uppill (SA) currently Australia’s number three orienteer is expected to do well but will have to hold off Matthew Crane (ACT ) World Orienteering M35 Champion, and the improving Tomas Krajca (ACT) who has been doing very well at recent WaggaRoos events.

NTP on the 13th Alison Campbell. NTP on the 8th 2nd shot was no other than Kathy Maloney.

On the 12th Sandy Newton and Carole Singe had “divine intervention". Sandy's ball duck dived onto the dam and came out again. Bet you couldn't do that again.

Jane Yates lost her first new ball on the 8th. Straight up in the air and plop into the dam.

Ellen Pratt and Connie Ross completed 18 holes  too. Well done ladies.

The action of the day had to go to Sandy Newton and Carole Singe.

On the sixth Sandy hit a good drive and there was a lovely black crow watching on. Sandy has a bright pink ball . The crow swooped, got the ball and headed off. The girls took off in the cart after the crow. After a lot of yelling and arms waving the crow just headed for the swamp. And that was a new ball too.

After golf the CWA Evening Group had a Biggest Morning Tea. Twenty two ladies were there and $413 was raised. Thanks to Heather Edwards and friends for a lovely afternoon tea.
