Early Bird discounted entries close on 30 June for the 2013 Oceania Championships Carnival in New Zealand from 4 to 13 January 2013. The website is http://oceania2013.co.nz

The Carnival features not only Oceania Championships open to everyone in sprint, middle, long distance and relays but 4 World Cup events (2 middle distance and 2 sprint). With areas and event centres chosen specifically with spectator interest in mind this is one series of events that you cannot afford to miss. Lots of photos have recently been added to the website photo gallery.

Just after the completion of the 2013 Oceania Championships, Australian and New Zealand orienteers are being invited to participate in a 3 day orienteering carnival in New Caledonia called Cal O’rie on Friday 18, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20th January 2013. A website http://www.convergence.nc/ has been set up and further details will be posted on the 3-day mini-carnival. You can also contact Ariel Llambrich at clubconvergence@lagoon.nc
