Does anyone know when the details of the NZ Champs scheduled for Easter 2015 will be available. They are referenced http://www.orienteering.org.nz/major-events/ as a CMOC, but no other details seem to be available?

No promotional material out there yet as far as I know, but it is indeed to be hosted by Counties Manukau OC. Not sure where the sprint will be - somewhere in south Auckland, Pukekohe or neighbouring towns; middle, long and relay to be in a newly mapped area, limestone dominated farmland (possibly with some forest blocks?), south of Pukekohe, west of Pokeno/Mercer (if those names mean anything to you!)

In Richards defence he is choosing a great time to escape the intense heat of SA and go to NZ at a lovely time of the year to be a tourist.
As one of the mappers I can confirm the NZ Champs is not Burra and in fact the limestone karst terrain is probably something not experienced in Oz.
Counties OC is a small club and yes they have been very slow to put up info. I have supplied them with lots of tantalising photos and some teasing map samples.

Is that green natural? It looks like the green they used in Wizard of Oz.

Oh dear. And I was so looking forward to fast Mallee running at Burra.
