Yarrowyck, 21-22 April: 
Garingal had a successful weekend at the NSW championships in Armidale, taking out nine age classes.
We had five winners in the Middle Champs on Saturday: Tim McConaghy (M12A), Duncan Currie (M20A), Peter Fozo (M35A), Barbara Hill (W50A) and Natalie Grainger (Open Easy). There were 10 people finishing second and three in third place.
For the Long Champs on Sunday Garingal had four winners: Huon Wilson (M21AS), Carolyn Davies (W55AS), Barbara Junghans (W65AS - on crutches! - Pictured) and Natalie Grainger (Open Easy) again. Three people finished second and four in third place.
The new maps were brilliant and courses were a true test. A big thanks to Northern Tablelands and Bush n Beach clubs for a cracking two days.
Service awards announced at Easter: 
Congratulations to Garingal couple Ron and Barbara Junghans, who won the prestigious Silva Award for Services to Orienteering.
The Duffys Forest residents have been at the heart of all things O for close on 40 years. This lifelong dedication culminated in Barbara organising last year's Australian championships at Bathurst and Hill End.
The Junghans also took out the ONSW President's Award in 2017 (pictured).
 At the recent Sydney Summer Series final event presentation (Tuesday) , Ross Barr was presented with his Garingal Life Membership medallion by club president Ross Duker (pictured). This was well deserved and probably long overdue; Ross, Enjoy!
In other news from the evening: Ted Woodley set a cracking course centred on Chatswood Golf Club, and the presentations afterwards were attended by a good 70-80 people. Garingal members won 6 age classes in the 27th Sydney Summer Series.
GO winners were: Keelan Birch (Junior Men), Glenn Horrocks (Masters Men), Warwick Selby (Legends Men), Karin Hefftner (Super Veteran Women), Carol Jacobson (Legends Women), and Sue Thomson (Immortals Women). Toni Bachvarova narrowly missed out on the title in Veteran Women by the count-back rule.
