Hallett too quick at home

Nuggets' Bruce Arthur raced cleanly, but didn't have the early season speed to match SA's Lachlan Hallett on home ground in the South Australian Sprint Distance Championships in Adelaide on Friday evening.
Held on a forest area with many tracks, the course provided good challenges for a sprint distance race. Arthur led by a few seconds early and held on to the lead until around the 2.5km mark. However, Hallett was able to open up a 12 second lead over the final kilometer in relatively easy track running.
Big improver, John Nieuwenhoven, and Simon Uppill also finished with 30 seconds of the winner proving very good competition in this format.
After returning from Europe, Susanne Casanova was too strong for the small women's field.

Welcome

Welcome to the Victoria Nuggets blog. This is the site to visit to find out any information on Victorian Nuggets National Orienteering League training, events, travel or other details.

Competition Uniforms

Uniforms will again be compulsory for NOL races.
We have purchased an additional set of 20 uniforms over summer, which are now being screen printed. Smaller sizes are now available.

I have tops in size 3(XS), 4(S), 5(M), 6(L) and pants in 3(XS), 4(S), 5(M), 6(L) .
Cost is $120 for both with 50% (first) and 25% (subsequent uniforms) refunded at the end of the season provided that the full uniform is worn in all NOL races.
Tops are available for $70, pants for $50.

These will be available to purchase at most training session prior to Easter.

2006 NOL Funding

We have secured funding from Orienteering Victoria for the NSW and QLD rounds this year. NSW petrol expenses will be re-imbursed, so please keep you receipts for this.
For QLD, a team of 4 men and 4 women will be selected to encourage attendance of a full team to keep our Teams Competition chances high. Selected members will each receive $300 to contribute to their travel expenses.
Nominations for selection must be made in writing to the NOL Manager, Bruce Arthur, by 14th April.
Selection will be based on performances in NOL series 1 and 2 (NSW and VIC), and will be selected by the Orienteering Victoria selection panel.

Race intention forms

Please complete your 2006 race intention form and return to me. We can then keep in contact with you, and arrange entries, travel and accommodation more easily.
If you do not have a form, please contact bruce.i.arthur@accenture.com and I will be happy to forward one to you.

NOL Programme and Entries

Firstly, if you have been considering going to the March NOL and JNOL races in NSW, please enter NOW. Entries closed officially on 17th Feb.

Programme of events and entry forms can be found from http://www.orienteering.asn.au/nationalleague/nol2006

Easter entries also close soon on 17th March.

M/W20E entries

When the course is the same for NOL/JNOL, can juniors please enter M/W20E?

The one difference between entering 21s and 20s is that if you enter 20s you're eligible to score Junior National League points - it's the same course and you still score 21s points regardless of what you run (the rule doesn't seem entirely logical to me but it's the way it is at present).
