 Orienteering Association of South Australia Newsletter
South Australia’s overall membership numbers have been relatively stable over the last few years, but this is largely as a result of increases in numbers at the regional clubs in particular Lincoln and Top End due to their hard work in promoting orienteering.
At a national level, Orienteering Australia’s (OA) funding is derived from a combination of grants from the Australian Sports Commission, fees derived from the state associations, event levies, and direct payments from the states and members eg for the Australian Orienteer, insurance.
This detail may or may not be of interest to South Australian orienteers, however it is relevant because some of the money is levied on the states, or on orienteers directly (via event levies at Badge, State Championship and National events).
