Planner: Brent Edwards (NOC)
Controller: Wayne Gray (NOC) Organiser: Lucy Thomsen (NOC) Comment from Bryan after a mapping mission - 31 March 2015:
"I was mapping Albion Square and around the Police buildings and eventually a police car came up and asked me what I was doing. I said my name, and I was mapping for the New Zealand Orienteering Champs 2016 and I showed them my mapboard and said they could contact the club if they wanted. I said I was also mapping many out-of-bounds areas. I must have looked suspicious like the guy who was living in a tent (with all his gear) under the trees in the square. The Policeman said it was a lovely day, then went off on his business for the day." |
