On Sunday 7 April the Northern Tablelands Orienteering Club is hosting a bush event on private property at Mt Brown. The property is for sale so this may be your last chance to explore this venue! There is no need to register in advance, just turn up on the day. Newcomers of any age and ability can join in at their own pace individually or in small groups. Dress for the weather and bring a water bottle as well as something to eat. Maps, SI sticks (for registering controls) and a limited number of compasses are available on the day.
