The Champs rogaine 20-21st April. 

Nearly 300 people came and enjoyed the course, the moon, the open terrain and some great company for Barkley's birthday.  The mixed teams and overall winners of the 24 hour event were Elise Palethorpe and Ryan Stocks closely followed by Julie Quinn and David Baldwin.  Andrew Slattery and Monika Lee were very clear winners of the 8 hour event.  There were also some impressive family teams in the 24 hour dominated by the Mottershead/Elson family and there were 5 family teams in the 8 hour event.  Check out the photos in the gallery HERE.

A huge thank you to the 10 landowners that gave us permission to use their properties, especially Lyn and Lucky for looking after us with the HH area.  Also many thanks to all those that volunteered for setting, vetting, admin, first aid AND the catering.

Thanks to our super course setters Tim Cochrane, Michael Reed and Emily Stewart-Reed for setting a course for foot, paddle and bike around the Googong Reservoir. A warm to hot sunny day allowed people to enjoy themselves with most people choosing to take in the western foreshores area. Congratuations to overall winners of the foot event Xanda Kolesnikow and Ivan Koudashev and winners of the multi-sport category Clare Lonergan and Kieran Macdonell who on bikes only narrowly beat kayakers Jean Douglass and Ron Simpson. Photos from the day will be in the photo gallery in the next day or two.

Many thanks to the generous support from Paddy Pallin and Mont.

Hartley Catering

It is with a heavy heart that we farewell Hartley Lifecare as our ongoing caterers for ACTRA events. Deb and the team from Hartley have been integral members of the ACTRA team over many years, providing food and sustenance - from ice blocks and watermelon at twilight events, to hearty massaman curries at chilly 24 hour events. And we can't forget the toasties! 

From ACTRA, we say a big thank you to Deb and the team for all their efforts over the years. We will miss you! 

What does this mean? It means we are in urgent need to find alternative caterers for our future events. Due to our size, self-catering is not an option on an ongoing way. So we are seeking help from the broader ACTRA membership. We are looking for ideas on community groups and charities that might like to provide catering at our events to boost their fundraising. This might be for just a few events or organisations willing to take on all our events (from winter 4 hour and metrogaine to the annual 24 hour event and night/day event). 
 
What do we want from you? We are seeking ideas and possible leads. The Committee would follow up with the organisation/group with more information. The caterers need to be familiar with, and follow, food standards for safe catering. Preference is for groups who already have equipment, but that's not a deal breaker.
