Over 20 ACTRA members headed to the Australian Champs near Malmsbury in Victoria on 11-12 October 2014.

David Baldwin and Julie Quinn were the best placed ACT team (pictured) coming second overall (second Mixed Open and first Mixed Veterans) losing out on an overall win by a measly 20 points to a gun team from NZ. The ACT also won the Intervarsity Challenge with Oleg Kovdashev and Daniel Comber-Todd from the ANU coming in first place (16^th overall) (pictured below).

Other ACTRA placegetters were:

• First Family Category - Glenn Bridgart and his daughter Jessica
• Second Women’s Open – Susie Sprague (who teamed up with Sara Hely from Vic)
• Third Mixed Superveterans – Jean Douglass and Ron Simpson
• Fourth Women’s Superveterans – Colleen Mock and Parissa Poulis
• Fourth Men’s Open - Ben Corry (who teamed up with Shane Lewis from WA).

Overall the ACT came fourth in the interstate challenge (Vic: 23 points; NSW: 12 points; QLD: 11 points; ACT: 10.5 points; Tas: 6 points; WA: 2.5 points; SA: 1 point; NT: 0 points).

Full results and event wrap-up can be found here. ACTRA photos can be found in our photo gallery. Barkley, the ACTRA mascot, also went along and details his adventures here.

Next year the ACT Champs are in NSW on the same weekend (10-11 October). Hope to see many of you there!
