Carnival Opening – Day 1 at Inglewood

Plan to stay for a carnival opening at the conclusion of the WRE race at Inglewood on Day 1 of the Australian 3-Days.

Food will be available from the Flavours of Loddon, with a selection that includes Paella, savouries, rolls, wraps, sandwiches, cakes, spuds and of course – coffee.

The arena at the Inglewood Botanical Gardens will provide a great place to relax and catch up with others.

Commencing at 1.30pm the program is:

  • Welcome to Country                    
  • VIP welcome speeches              
  • Presentation of WRE medals
  • OA Annual Awards        
  • Spot prize draw

The Orienteering Australia Awards presentation is usually held on Day 2 but is being moved to Day 1 so that it is part of the carnival opening.

The OA awards to be presented are:
Athlete of the Year
The Silva Medal
Hall of Fame Athlete Division inductees
Hall of Fame General Division inductees
Silva Award for Services to Orienteering
Silva Award for Services to Coaching
The David Hogg Medal for Services to Event Management
The Rob Plowright Award for Services to Mapping

So after your run on Psalm Singing Gully grab some food from one of the food stalls, sit back and relax.
