Banna Sand Dunes Orienteering results

Well done to all new comers to the orienteering event at Banna Sand Dunes on 23 March. Weather was excellent for most of the day and a few of our club members took part in this event.
It was a family outing for the O'Connors with dad Brian taking top spot (that't the big kid on the left) and most of the Nowak family not too far behind. Full results HERE.
Next event is on Easter Sunday at Inch Beach.
