Competitive Age based classes have a fixed course length. We are also offering 3 Social/Team classes (Course 2 - Long, Course 3 - Medium, and Course 5 - Short). The 3 Social/Team classes are for individuals and groups who only want to compete on a social/non competitive basis. These classes do not earn points towards any trophies. Course lengths will be set to achieve Orienteering Australia (OA) recommended winning times.

* The Women Open Long class is not a QLD Championship class. It is for those riders specifically after Queensland state series (ROY) points.

The Passchendaele State Forest west of Stanthorpe is off limits prior to the Championships.

Social Dinner
A social get together is being organised for riders for the evening of Saturday 10 May at the Stanthorpe RSL club on the corner of Corundum and Marsh Streets at 6.30pm. We were originally going to have our own room set aside but due to the RSL making a double booking of this room, we will now be in the main dining room and have to order and pay at the buffet. A copy of the menu and prices are shown below. As the 10^th of May is a Saturday, the Bistro will also be having a $15 buffet available in the evening. This is a choice from 3-4 meats, with vegetables and salads on the side. The type of roast is decided by the chef nearer to the time & is accompanied usually by chicken, fish dishes. Drinks will be available from the bar.

Book online for this dinner with your entry as we will need to notify the RSL the day after entries close of the numbers wanting to attend so that they can arrange reserved tables. Do not take the chance that there will be seats available on the night.
