Positions Vacant

The minutes of the recent Annual General Meeting of the NSW Rogaining Association inc are now available.   If you are an active NSW rogainer, please take the time to read them and take note that there are three committee positions that are currently vacant.  In addition to these, the treasurer, Tony Maloney, is only continuing until someone will replace him.  These gaps put an extra load on those who have volunteered their services and raise the spectre of events being downgraded or even cancelled.  I'm sure you don't want this to happen so please contact the secretary,  Alexa McAuley or one of the other committee members to discuss how you can get involved.  A brief description of the role of each committee position is here.

If a committee position sounds too demanding then take a look at the many vacant spots on the Events Volunteers table.  Descriptions are available for each job.    Pick an event and job and then contact Phil, the new Volunteer Coordinator on 02 4284 5018 or nswravc@gmail.com .

New to Rogaining?

Would you like some information on ...

  • Equipment needed.
  • How to prepare.
  • What happens when you get there.
  • What happens on the course.
  • How to navigate.

Hiding away in our Books Section is a rather large PDF file published by the Victorians which answers these questions.  It is well worth taking the time to download a copy.

NSWRA turns 25 this year!

The NSW Rogaining Association was established in 1983.  Read an interesting report  by Ian Dempsey, our first Secretary, on the events held in that first year.  Peruse the map of the 24 hour rogaine held at Murrurundi.  Scans are at two resolutions,  3.3MB JPG and  540KB JPG.

Some early Newsletters are available for you to read.  More will be added when I find the time to scan them.
