Like last year's Hartwood meet, it was a very warm, sunny day; temperature about 80o. I'm guessing that some people got sunburn (I know I did). We had an excellent turn out (72 starts, near our record). There were many first-timers and quite a few who did two courses (white and yellow or even yellow and short scramble).
Dave Battista directed the event and was inventive in his course designs. He made a bike-O course and we had a reasonable number of people give it a try, mostly club members. We also had a long and a short scramble (Dave likes to make scrambles), in addition to our usual beginner courses. Everyone I talked to had very positive things to say about the courses and the event. There was a lot of thanks being given out by the participants as they left. All and all, I thought it was an excellent meet. You can see some photos here
We had several people renew their membership at the event and we had a few new members join. Welcome to Tom Moul, Nate Lyons and Chris Corbran and welcome back to Steve Schlotterbeck and Eric Hodos who are rejoining after a gap.
Thanks to Barbara Johnstone, Loretta Opila, Giuseppina Mecchia and Mike and Diane Lorenz for handling registration. Thanks to Joe Logan for doing instruction. Thanks to Alexis Rzewski for taking pictures. Thanks to Sherry Shank for handling start/finish. And thanks to Dan Marincel and Jim Trautmann for helping to pick up the controls.
The next event will be on April 29 at Camp Seph Mack (Yellow Creek State
Park)..
