O'Shea entries close Thursday

Last Updated: Monday, 13 February 2017 12:46

Entries close on Thursday for the first big orienteering weekend of 2017.

Central Coast is hosting its annual O'Shea 2-Days carnival in the southern part of "the coast" on February 18-19. This is mainly for pairs, but single entries are welcome, too.

While it has a great social atmosphere (and some participants dress up in wacky matching outfits), the prizes - fruit cakes decorated with spearmint leaf lollies (see pic, left) - are keenly sought after.

The three events are:
* a Saturday afternoon relay at Kariong
* a Saturday evening event at Ourimbah Uni campus. Only one member of each pair needs to run the night sector, but both may.
* a Sunday morning Pairs Score event at Bateau Bay West. Each pair splits the controls up between them, aiming to finish together.

Entries close on Feb 16 via Eventor. Enter on Day is limited.
