While the threatening skies kept away most of the scout groups, the weather did cooperate enough for everyone to enjoy their courses. The daytime courses included White and Yellow courses and a Motala. The afternoon also had a Trail-O course and workshop, and an intermediate skills clinic. The day was capped with a Night-O course and a pot-luck.

A big thanks goes to the Stanford University Orienteering Club and its president Natasha Gelfand for hosting the event.

Another round of thanks goes to the event workers. (If I've left anyone off the helper list, please accept my apologies.)

A few recommendations:

  1. The club web site should have a brief writeup targeted at scout troop/JROTC leaders. Apart from answering the most common questions (cost, times, etc.), there should be some mention about the importance of "early" estimates of headcount -- we want to make sure there are sufficient maps for everyone. (Fortunately most of the scouts didn't attend this event, so we didn't have to aggressively ration maps.)
  2. Each event announcement on the web site should contain a link to the general event info web page. Even if there isn't an event announcement yet, at least we can answer the basic questions.
  3. The event info web page should have a brief paragraph stating that most meets have beginner clinics.
