Stackhouse Park
Orienteering Meet
23 May 2004


It was a very warm sunny day for orienteering.  The temperature was a bit high (in the upper 70's) but everyone had a good time.  Overall, the courses were fairly difficult.  The temperature, climb, poor visibility, and muddy conditions all contributed to long times for the courses.  This was the first use of the finished map for Stackhouse Park; it was printed at 1:10000, in comparison to the draft used last November which was 1:7500.  The change confused a couple competitors.  Thanks to Laurie Opila for helping put out controls, directions signs, and helping with start and registration.  Thanks to Deb Beisel for staying the whole time at registration.  Thanks to Anne Hoover for helping with registration.  And thanks to Al Sheaffer and Rob Wilkison for helping pick up controls.  Also, welcome to Regina Schreckengost; she joined WPOC.

The first meeting of WPOC was also held at this meet.  Jim Wolfe and Jen Livingston will continue as the elected officers.  Deb Beisel and Bryon Roland agreed to help with publicity.  A membership list and a financial statement were handed out.  There was some discussion of developing new map areas, especially in the direction of Pittsburgh; Bryon Roland and Jason Gray said they would send Jim Wolfe information they had about Moraine State Park.  Jim said he would check out Boyce Park in  Pittsburgh for a possible July meet.
