It was another blustery day at Yellow Creek State Park; fortunately, it was sunny; but the wind off the lake was terrible. We had a fair turnout nonetheless. It was the week after Easter; but we put Easter eggs on the White and Yellow courses anyway. No one objected. We tried a little something different on the Score course; we ran it as two courses (a 60-minute score or a 90-minute score with a map exchange). Most participants chose the 90 minutes; however a few of those didn't really make it past the map exchange in 90 minutes. The controls were worth varying number of points (5, 10, or 15) with a lateness penalty of 10 points per minute.
Meet director, Al Sheaffer, set some very interesting courses; there were many positive comments about them. Thanks to Mike & Tricia Ward, Barbara Johnstone, Laurie Opila, and Mary McElhinny for running registration. thanks to Dave Battista, Roger Sullenberger and Alexis Rzewski for helping with control pick. The next meet will be at Hartwood Acres on April 20.
