Due to forecast heavy rain in the south east for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the Campania event will be unable to go ahead as creeks will likely be uncrossable again. Since this is the last OST event of the year and your last chance to gain OST and Excellence points, we have decided to postpone both the Campania event AND the awards dinner to the following week - Saturday 23 October.

2021 has been a tough year for Tasmanian orienteers. Not only did we lose one of our best areas - Pittwater - we also lost our Australian Championships carnival (for the second time).
