ROC represented the Orienteering community well by putting on a great late
summer meet at Cobbs Hill Park for National Orienteering Week that luckily
finished before the rains came. Sean Sims deserves a lot of credit for
designing the courses, as well as setting every control out early Saturday
- and finishing with time to spare before the first start. The courses
were very well received, and several took 'full advantage' of the park's
namesake hill.
Linda, Rick and many other ROC members gave instructions to new orienteers
who were trying it out for the first time. Many of the new orienteers liked
it so much that they decided to try a second course.
Thanks goes to Boy Scout Troup 19 and Beverly Dollinger for reserving and
hosting us at the Tay house, and for their help with set-up and clean-up.
The troup had quite a large contingent that tried their hand at the sport.
Another group came from Roberts Wesleyan as part of an Orienteering class
they were taking. And Olga Huber shepherded a large group of youngsters as
part of a birthday party activity.
Several people came to the meet after seeing it on meetup.com. There was a
little confusion about signing up - signing up on meetup is not the same as
pre-registering through the website. We'll try to clarify the meetup in the
future.
