Thanks to all who came out to the club’s newest venue at Camp Bud Schiele. An even greater thanks to Jim Hall for his willingness to plan and execute a meet there.  And, while on the subject of thanks – Jim would like to extend his gratitude to David Alexander for bringing the maps and to Rich Vogel for sticking around (after running a red course) and picking up controls afterwards (this isn’t the first time Rich has done this – what a fantastic volunteer).

The temps were warm, the terrain unfamiliar, green everywhere, and oh-so-long courses – all contributing to a few more over-times (> 180 minutes).  But, don’t let that discourage anyone since there will be plenty of opportunities next season (beginning in October ’21).

Speaking of next season – you’ll see some continuance of the way things went this past orienteering year (e.g. pre-registration & payment online gets you a pre-printed map/finger stick) and changes to the way larger groups are managed.   More-to-follow after club officers meet this summer.

As always – the club is in need of volunteers if we’re to keep orienteering alive in the Charlotte area – so please consider giving some time & effort to sustaining these meets for the future.  We really need experienced navigators to step up and become meet directors….. really……..really……not making this up……
