Appreciate the news, realising that lots of you may not have power.

From the PAPO website:
1. 1610 starts in the Chch City Council orienteering day on the 20th!
2. Could be a misunderstanding but this looks like an item dated post EQ: "Free public event still on. Families and beginers are invited to McLeans Island to sample orienteering on Tuesday 1 March".
Go PAPO!

Since some people may have been planning to come down for the SI champs. I just received this email from PAPO. Oh and Michael there was a very low key yellow course at McLeans Island on Tuesday, a number of people turned up and it was a nice wee run around.
All the PAPO March and April events have been cancelled. We are looking into the possibility of turning these into postponements. We are also looking to mount some very low key almost training level events in a few weeks time. We will keep you posted.
The events that are cancelled/postponed are...
March 6 McQueens OY
March 27 Pines Beach
April 2 + 3 SI Champs
April 17 Waikari

I don't know how and I'm busy enough as it is with organising our Schools series, but is there anyway that the orienteering community can support PAPO through the next few months by outsourcing functions to other clubs? Lets all discuss it and think laterally about this.

Ah! For instance. Can NOC run an event in Hamner for you? I haven't asked anyone and we'd have to think about it but it may be possible. We turn up with all our gear and run the event for you. No promises. Or perhaps DoC run a South Canterbury Event? No idea and a lot of hard work but perhaps if you are considering cancelling any events in May then we should explore options.

Co-promotion by OHV and WOC. If PAPO doesn't have earthquake-related costs we'll give the proceeds to one of the recognised appeals.

Not sure what our costs are going to be. I think all our hardware is OK but our favourite Bottle Lake, for instance is being covered in liquefaction and rubble. (We can hope that we might ba able to request landscaping when more pressing issues are dealt with) But with all our Port Hills maps closed for safety I'm not sure where/when we can have close-by orienteering.

This thread might as well be "disasters in general". Sarah Gray in Japan we're thinking of you. Any other orienteers there? (That's not to say we've forgotten about Christchurch.)

About running an event in South Canterbury, I would be keen to do plan one and I could probably get a controller from somewhere else in DOC if it is wanted

Tomorrow night's mini rogaine in Wellington is a benefit for PAPO, see link 9 March above. The effects on the club may be subtle but nonetheless real, such as a shift from close to home to further out events with higher travel, reduced volunteer time meaning higher costs, and charitable trusts having less money for sport.
If anyone not coming to the rogaine wants to contribute (eg elsewhere in the country) you can transfer say a typical entry fee into the OHV bank account 010514 0135615-00 with a reference of Q-Max. If you do it by 31 March we can just add it onto the cheque we send off to PAPO.
