Tas NOL Final Information

I trust that you are all fit and well for some good races this weekend.
Here is some final information for you.

Accommodation:
I have arranged accommodation for the following Victoria Nuggets members in St Helens YHA on Fri and Sat nights.
Jim, David, Leon, Bruce, Jasmine, Toph, Morten, Bryan, Ilka, Simon (Blair and Sue - Sat night only)Note: Kathryn (staying with Robbie) and Aislinn (staying with her parents)
The address is:
St Helens YHA5 Cameron StreetSt Helens 7216
Phone: (03) 6376 1661Fax: (03) 6376 2612
Full cooking facilities, lounge room with wood fire, internet access, bedlinen provided. We need our own towels, but I have confirmed that we are allowed to come back and shower after Sunday's races.Jenny Casanova is aiming to get there by dark - leaving Hobart at 2. If anyone gets there earlier they just tell the owner they're with the SA & Vic orienteers. The double rooms are for Sus/Lachlan and Vanessa/Reuben if that's okay, but anywhere else is fair game.
South Aussies will go out for dinner on Sat night so the kitchen is all yours, unless the Nuggets have had the same idea.

Ground Transport:
Bruce, Jim, Toph, David & Leon are sharing a car from Launceston.
Others have made own arrangements. Please keep you car rental receipts and I'll see how much we can get re-imbursed from Orienteering Victoria.

Model area:
Those who wish to do some training in relevant terrain before the NOL races can go to Constable Creek map on Friday 16/5. If not, I have a computer simulation of this on Catching Features that I will bring for you to try on Friday evening.
On Saturday morning ONLY, part of the Littlechild Creek map will be available as a model map! Copies will be available at the assembly area from 9.00am. The track onto the map section is 1.5 km back toward St Helens from the track into the NOL assembly area. It is a major logging road.
