The Auckland Orienteer is the magazine of the Auckland Orienteering Association and incorporates articles from the Auckland Orienteering Club Inc., the North West Orienteering Club Inc., and the Counties-Manukau Orienteering Club. It is produced monthly and is available online from the NWOC homepage, Other orienteering related publications are welcome to draw material from the AO pages although credit is asked for both the author (when stated) and the AOA. Information for advertisers is available from the editor (details in Last Bits) Cover: Image of a Kiwi bird overlooking a group of West Grey Kangaroos. Editorial To quote WOA magazine "It's 'Roo hunting season again!" Too true. Across the Tasman in the next few months is the ANZ challenge, the second ANZ elite test match and the first ANZ MTBO challenge. Good luck to all the Aucklanders selected. Go catch us some 'roos.

Jill Brewis brought to my attention an article in the Herald, Monday Sept 1 regarding overweight teens in NZ. It suggested some activities that teens who are clumsy or not so good at sport could try, "Non- competitive activity, such as swimming, dancing, orienteering or even gardening, should be available for those who do not want to play sports" This attitude towards orienteering that it is not athletic or competitive follows on nicely from the previous quote about its nerdiness in the MuItisport Club;s magazine. What are we to do?

This issue contains a proposal from the NZOF regarding adjustments to M/W16 grades that I think has been a long time coming. Please have a good read of it and forward your comments to Bruce Henderson. It is important to have our say when we can.

Hope you enjoy your read. The mag is again available on the internet at www.geocities.com/nwocnz Madeleine Collins 3 Event Calendar

LUDER AND NIGGLI MARRIED 01 September

Swiss Orienteers Simone Luder who recently made history at the World Championships by winning four gold medals has wed long time love Matthias Niggli, also of Switzerland.

In true form of those passionate about orienteering, people attended in training suits and orienteering flags were waved above the newlywed heads.

FINNISH CLASSIC DISTANCE CHAMPIONSHIP 31 August The hit of the year, Thierry Gueorgiou (FRA) won the Finnish national championship in Classic distance! Although he was running in (almost) "home terrain" (he is a member of Kalevan Rasti, a club which organized the event), he had to beat some of the most prominent names of Finnish orienteering. Frenchman beating Finns... in Finland. A bit surprisingly Antti Harju was second (or maybe not so surprisingly, as he is also a member of the organizing club).

NORWEGIAN CLASSIC DISTANCE CHAMPIONSHIP 05 September

New Norwegian champions in Classic distance are Elisabeth Ingvaldsen and Holger Hott Johansen. This means that after 5 years, Hanne Staff did not successfully defend the Classic title. However, bearing in mind that Hanne was pretty uncertain about starting at all at the National Champs due to illness, this doesn't come as a surprise. Perhaps it is a bigger surprise that she managed to make 3rd spot! It's not easy to compete half- ill. Part of the map used for the Norwegian Classic Distance Championships 10 From the Archives....
