Great turnout for the 2025 Orienteering SA Awards - see the winners list below. Thank you to everyone who made it happen, a list too long to cover in one post. But we do need to thank Erica Diment for running a tight schedule and the Junior Arrows for a magnificent spread. Maze-O brought out friendly rivalry, keeping Maze-O manager Nigel Dobson on his toes. Catering by the Junior Arrows was an addition to their tremendous fund rainsing this year lead by Sophie Bird.
Special thanks to our volunteer community, all the mappers, course setters, event organisers, controllers, coaches, Arrows and Darts team managers, caterers and the zillion other people who support our sport behind the scenes and at every event, whether managing registrations, putting out the enews or welcoming newcomers. Thanks to President Rob Tucker, the OSA board and the Council members.
