The ACT Rogaining Association is now rewarding volunteers for events to recognise the importance that volunteers have on our sport.  Our events could not be run without volunteers.  The volunteering webpage has the details on the rewards policy.  In short, volunteers who have contributed at least a full day to the event and have given up their opportunity to compete will be offered a free entry to an ACTRA organised rogaine in the following 12 months.  People who have volunteered for events so far this year will receive a reward where they are eligible.

The 2011 Australian University Rogaining Championships will be held in conjunction with the Western Australian Rogaining Championships on 13-14 August 2011. The Nigel Aylott Memorial Sporting Foundation (NAMSF) will again be subsidizing the travel and entry costs for one team from each state and the entry fee for all full time students over 16 years. The subsidy for the ACT team will be $1,500. Postgraduates are eligible, but undergraduates are given preference. The qualifying event for selection of the ACT team will be the ACT 24 Hour Championships to be held on 14-15 May. To register your interest or for more information please contact David.

Julia and I have been deeply touched by the beautiful messages we have received; by the flowers which have brought colour and beauty into our cold, sad home; and by the numbers of rogainers who were able to attend Ian's picnic at the Botanic Gardens. Ian became an enthusiastic bushwalker many, many years ago. When he was introduced to rogaining he had found a sport which he loved. His love of the bush, his optimism, cheerfulness, and endurance made him a delightful rogaining partner. He was looking forward to the ACT Rogaine Championship and another opportunity for mental and physical challenges, fun, and adventure.
He was always happy to help by organising events, course setting, and controlling. On any trip through the bush Ian would be looking out for suitable rogaining country. Julia and I thank you all so much for your friendship and support and wish you all the very best.  Anna and Julia Booth.
