Rogaining is the art/skill of finding designated controls in the bush using a map and compass in teams of 2 to 5 people.  The Socialgaine is a less rigourous form of rogaining, usually in an urban/semi-rural setting involving parklands, fields, ie less challenging terrain.  Instead of electronic tags to record successful reaching of controls, scores are assessed on the basis of correct answers to a multiple-choice questionnaire.  It's useful way to practice map and compass reading skills in a comfortable environment. 
Rogaines are organised the NSW Rogaining Association.  I shall be arranging ANB teams to participate in this event.  More information on location and costs to be provided closer to the time when available from NSWRA.  Book a place in a team by Thursday 1 November.
