COVID-19 - Cancellation of all club events for 4 weeks

27 March 2020

Hi Everyone,
No doubt you will be aware and preparing yourselves for the next 4 + weeks as the NZ will go into "Lock down" to combat the spread of the Corona virus, SARS-CoV-2 and the associated disease COVID-19.
In light of this, and on the advice of Orienteering NZ and the NZ Government, all Orienteering events will be either Cancelled or Postponed for the next 4 weeks.

This might just be the opportunity you have been looking for to take up Catching Features or Virtual-O! We also have permanent courses on our website that you can download for free, however if you do so please respect the intention of the Alert Level 4 Lock down. For more information see: https://covid19.govt.nz/

Its a bit like lining up for the start of World Champs, you're locked in with your team mates and others from all over the world, avoiding getting to close, you have no idea where the course will take you, but you have the skills to navigate the course alone and make it to the finish where of whenever that might be!

Stay safe out there and look after each other, and if you need help, remember PAPO members are just an Email, Facebook message or Phone call away!

Sincerely
Tane Cambridge
PAPO President
