Archived trip from old website run by Melanie Stamell
Do you lack direction?
Have you lost your way?
Does the path that you've chosen seem steeper and less straight forward than you expected?
If you've answered yes to any of these questions, you need to LEARN TO NAVIGATE. So come and learn to navigate, by spending a couple of hours at Black Mountain Peninsula looking for bright orange flags, with us, your fellow ANUMCers!
WHAT? It's an orienteering event on Black Mountain Peninsula (near the ANU), followed by a free BBQ for all the new ANUMC orienteers to mingle and discuss where they went wrong.
WHAT IS ORIENTEERING? You have a map and you use a compass and your wit to navigate to various flags hidden throughout the bush. You can do it solo or in groups. I promise, it's way more fun than when you were forced to do it in high school.
WHEN? 17/02/2016, 4:30 PM,
WHERE? We'll be meeting at the SRA and then carpooling / cycling to the location on Black Mountain.
WHY? Because it's fun, and social and an easy way to get fit. You're also probably new to Canberra and lonely :_(
HOW? By meeting in front of the SRA at 4:30 PM for a brief intro to the sport and to collect the compasses that I'll be so generously lending out. You'll also need to wear clothes appropriate to moving freely in the bush and appropriate to the weather.
HOW MUCH? If you're a student then it's $10, otherwise $15
CAN I GET A DISCOUNT? Yes, if you can follow the following instructions, the price becomes $7 and $10 respectively:
-----------------------Discount Instructions------------------------------------------
ANUMC members get special rates: $10 for employed people and $7 for students. In order to get these discounted rates you follow these simple instructions:
1. Register your personal details on eventor (http://eventor.orienteering.asn.au). This means following the steps until the end of screen 6 (and no further) in the 'registering as an Eventor User' file. More specifically, select 'create account' (left hand side) then select the 'I am or want to be a member....." toggle button (the first in the list of 4) then fill out as many details as possible.
2. Email Bob (robert.mouatt@netspeed.com.au) and Jill (office@act.orienteering.asn.au) saying that you are a member of ANUMC and have registered on eventor. Then they will make you a member of the orienteering club 'ANUMC' on eventor.
3. Put down MC-A on the rego forms for orienteering events and claim members' rates.
It's a bit of an ordeal, but worth it for the discount!
