The Annual General Meeting of the ACT Rogaining Association will be held on Sunday 7 March 2021, at approximately 4:45 pm, following the last finish of the Paddy Pallin 6 hour rogaine at South Durras Oval, South Coast, NSW.

An Agenda, Minutes from 2020, Audited Accounts and Presidents Report are here on the website. Please read and download your own copy for the meeting.

If you are interested in a Committee position (President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, 6-8 General Committee) and need further information, please contact Stephen Goggs or Julie Quinn. While not compulsory, it would be helpful to let Julie, who will chair the AGM, know if you intend to nominate yourself or someone else.

If you missed the Night/Day/Cycle Rogaine at Kowen Forest or just want to get out there again, you can do either a Foot or Cycle (both 6 hours) event.results

Jono Fearn and Ciaran Lane have set a great course with some fun riding on the remaining MTB trails and some enticing bush and pine forest for some cross country navigation on foot.

The virtual event will run until Monday 5 October. The pink marking tape for the control sites marks the locations.

Great to see some new and some familiar faces over the weekend as rogaining started to return to "in-person" events. The event will now continue as a virtual MapRun event - there will be some maps available at Paddy Pallin, and the event will appear in the MapRunF app. Maps are available here in A3 size or 2 x A4 pages for printing, along with the course setters' notes and control descriptions. 

Saturday night had some drizzle and mist but cleared to a starry night. The calm conditions meant it didn't get too cold, but visibility made navigation challenging. Sunday was clear and sunny but with a steady breeze blowing. Conditions underfoot were damp and slippery with a bit of mud in places.

A big thanks to all the volunteers who made the event happen. Stephen Goggs wrangling toilets and running admin, Jonathan Fearn, Ciaran Lane, Dane Roberts and Keira Banks for setting and hanging the controls on a great course, and Kelvin Peh for managing First Aid.
