The Onkaparinga Hills Orienteering Club was formed in 1978 and we have approximately 30 individual, family and social memberships. Michelle Chamalaun is the President and is supported by a band of enthusiastic club members. Members are generally (but not exclusively) from the Mitcham and Mitchan Hills area.
Each year the club runs about 5 events and a team effort results in a well run event with courses to suit different ages and navigation abilities. Members share the various tasks of course setting and manning the Registration, Start and Finish tables.
During the year a number of social events are held. Specifically, there are BBQs at some events, there is a popular annual dinner and, the AGM is a social event with only a short formal interlude.
A number of committee members hold important roles on the state body (OASA) committee. Jennie Bourne is the OASA Treasurer, John Such is Publicity Officer, Adrian Uppill is Mapping Coordinator and Michelle Chamalaun is Assistant Secretary. At the National Level, Robin Uppill is OA Technical Director and IT Chairperson.
