Nonsuch Park - summer series 2025
Thursday 26th June
Entries are closed!
This is the second event in a series of four summer evening O Events that MVOC are organising.

For the experienced: 1-hour score, Waikato scoring rules.
For beginners/newcomers a simpler ~3km linear course.
Registration will be located at a pub which will also offer food - a great opportunity to meet your fellow competitors afterwards and chat about the course.
Online entries close 8am on the day of the event but please get entries in early for map printing purposes.
