International Year of the Volunteer

As we all know, this is the International Year of the Volunteer. What sport should be more deserving than Orienteering where Volunteers are the backbone of it's existence.

Southern Highlands and Illawarra/Kareelah Clubs put in a submission explaining the role of volunteers in organising a national event in a country town. They were lucky enough to receive a sum of money to enable them to reward the efforts of the dozens of people who put in many, many hours to make a huge event happen.

So, when you see one of those bright yellow 'Volunteer" T-shirts, or later, one of the organisers T-shirts, just remember the role of volunteers in all avenues of our sport.
