[BHS-O] 11/11 Sun: Annadel, Santa Rosa (league meet) driver needed

[Wayne Caplinger]

Hi BHS Orienteers,

Tomorrow is another league meet, this time near Santa Rosa.  League meets are no harder than practice events, but they do give you and the team valuable season points.

I am working out of town, and can NOT drive.

So we need a volunteer driver.

The tentative plan is a carpool meeting point outside Flynn's house, 1620 Curtis at Cedar,

to depart at 9 am.

All drivers and riders please contact Karen Laws, so we know the right number of cars.

Also CC me.

There is a free Intermediate clinic for student orienteers at 10:30.  Highly recommended that you attend.  The clinic at each event covers different material, all season.

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 if possible, 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.  Those who complete Orange consistently may want to move to Brown or Green.

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, 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
