Laurel Hill State Park
Orienteering Meet
27 October 2019
The rain finished not long before the event began. Although it
was quite windy, it was a very good day for orienteering, off-and-on
sun and temperature about 60. Nevertheless, we had our worst
attended event of the year, only 29 people and 21 starts.
Especially noteworthy was the lack of beginners; we had only a
single start on each of the beginner courses. There didn't seem
to be an obvious cause for the poor attendance.
Jim Wolfe designed the five courses which used electronic punching.
Aaron Shissler designed an additional beginner course as
part of meeting the requirements of a merit badge in orienteering.
Everyone seemed to like the courses; there were many positive
comments. The finish times were generally good, although times
were a bit slow on the Novice course.
Thanks to Naomi Jarvis and Andy and Aaron Shissler for helping set up.
Thanks to Sherry Shank, Andy Shissler and Joe Logan for handling
registration. Thanks to Debbie Stiles and Alexis Rzewski for
helping with start /finish. Thanks to Naomi Jarvis and Joe Logan
for offering instruction, although no one took them up on it. And
thanks to Alexis Rzewski, Joe Logan, Andy and Aaron Shissler for
helping do control pick-up.

The next WPOC event will be the last of the year. It is at North
Park on November 10 and will include the annual general membership
meeting and potluck social.
