- The ARA submitted a proposal to host the 20th World Rogaining Championships in 2027, with SARA leading the bid team. Big thanks to Craig Colwell for both the effort he put into working up the proposal and also for offering to lead the organisation of the event. All of the State and Territory rogaining clubs contributed to the bid and will have important roles to play in supporting SARA to deliver the event. The International Rogaining Federation Council is now considering our bid (no others were received) and we should hear back in mid-July.
