[BHS-O] 10/28 Sun: Morgan Territory, Livermore (practice event)

[Wayne Caplinger]

Hi BHS Orienteers,

Tomorrow is a good practice event near Livermore.  Come get your season started, or consolidate your skills.

I recommend the Orange course for anyone who has completed 1-2 yellows.  This is a good chance to stretch.

I will be driving.  Text or email me if you want or can offer a ride.

There are two free clinics for student orienteers at 10:30.  Highly recommended that you attend one.

Steps:

a) Those under 18 will need a parent-signed waiver.  If a parent isn't attending, print and sign the following (once per event).  They'll fill out the rest at registration.

b) Carpool with me, or arrive at the park between 9 and 12.  Parking will be easy and free.

c) Go to the registration table.  The reg volunteers will help you through everything.

d) In choosing a course, first-timers take White or maybe Yellow.  If you've completed only white, choose Yellow.  If you find yellow easy, move up to Orange / JV. 

e) If you're relatively new, consider attending one of the short, free Beginner's Clinics.  Just ask at reg.

f) If you start on a course, you must report to the finish afterwards, even if you didn't find everything.  Otherwise, they send out a search party.

g) After your first course, you may choose to re-register and go out for a different second course, either harder or easier.

Cost: about $5-8.

All you need to do is bring a signed waiver and money and a pen, show up, register, and complete a course.  Wear walking, hiking, or running gear.  Bring a compass and estick if you have them.  Maybe bring a snack for after.

Thanks,

Wayne
