Father, mapper, top orienteer, ski buddy and Big Foot friend Rob Plowright passed away on 19th April, 2022.
Rob worked on several maps for Big Foot, but beyond that was a good friend to anyone in the club who got to know him before and after that time. Once Rob moved to Japan to live with Masumi we saw less of him, but the rise of social media and internet based communications meant that Rob was always around online. He was a thoughtful commentator on numerous online orienteering forums over the years, making new friends when his straight talking didn't scare them off.

Top course planning by Paul and Tracy coupled with plenty of sunshine made for a great Big Foot Sprints outing.
Nea Shingler won the women's division for the third consecutive year, while her brother Ewan followed on his 2020 win (run in early 2021) with a win over 2019 champ Alistair George. Checkout the LiveLox replay to see how close Ali was to beating him.

In a shocking display of the unrelenting nature of time it was recently discovered that it is 1991 2021 already !!
To celebrate the occasion we will be rocking the Showground after Big Foot Sprints.
A brief history of the club that was on this page and was also published in the Australian Orienteer has been removed. Many longstanding members found that it it did not present an accurate view of the last 30 years and omitted much that was achieved by our younger and female members.

A great end to 2020, albeit a few months late. Top planning and organising by Mounty and Andrew who took the lockdown delay in their stride.

What should have been the final state league of the year became the only state level bush orienteering event of the year on the first weekend of November. Despite the dearth of orienteering a relatively poor turnout from other clubs turned out to run some great courses planned by promising youngster Ewan Shingler.
The event can be reviewed in LiveLox here.

Big Foot took out both the Division 1 and Division 2 titles at the final Metro League of an odd season held at Landsowne.
For the div 1 team, this was the 4th consecutive title, the run of 6 titles from 2009-2014 now looks under threat, with a few grizzly veterans still in the team from that era. For the div 2 team, their wins seem to come every 3 years and again the team was a blend of youth and not-so-youth.
