I think it's fantastic that NZ is hosting the World cups and Ocenia in 2013. I'm a tad worried that noone may turn up.
The world cup field will be a constant(smallish) number regardless of promotion, but I think more could be done to attaract large fields to Ocenia. It is the supporting event that makes the money.
Having spent the week at the Scottish 6 days, I saw nothing about this event. Many other international events for 2012 & 2013 were promoted.
A website appears to exist, but is scant on detail.
I fear NZ is missing out. A large amount of northern hemisphere orienteers would love to visit for an NZ summer with orienteering. Anyone who does will need to start planning it end of this year/early next year to manage annual leave and other logistics.
I enjoy the relaxed event organistion in NZ but fear we're doing ourselves out of dollars by having a laid back approach to event promotion.
