We were very saddened to hear about the passing of Ann Scott, following a long illness. We know that Ann had a long history with orienteering and was a stalwart of the Southland orienteering scene who contributed a huge amount over many decades. By all accounts much of this contribution was done without fanfare, driven by a love of orienteering and a dedication to the community values which are such an important part of our sport. We are always sorry to hear of any passing within the orienteering community, and we know that Ann leaves a big hole in Southland Orienteering. On behalf of Orienteering NZ, our thoughts and condolences are with Ann’s family, friends, and orienteering club mates at this time.
