Hartwood Acres
Orienteering Meet
20 April 2008

The forecast had been for an all day rain; and it did rain all of Saturday night; but on Sunday, the rain stayed to the east of us.  Nevertheless, it is certain that the threatening weather kept some people from coming to the meet.  Although everything was wet and there was a lot of mud, the event went very well.  There were a couple confusing elements as all the clue sheets were missing the first digit of the control number and the green course was missing a clue for control 14.  But everyone was good-humored about the mistakes and had a good time.  We had a lot of newbies again, as we did the last time we held a meet at Hartwood.  Thanks to Alexis Rzewski for setting some challenging courses.  Thanks to Mary McElhinny for working both shifts of registration and to Loretta Opila, Mike Ward, Jason Maruccio, and Dave Battista.  Thanks to Jerry Agin for handling Start/Finish.  Thanks to Bryon Roland for bringing the canopy and setting it up and thanks to Alexis and Dave Torick for helping collect the controls.

The next meet is our night meet at Stackhouse Park in Johnstown; we hope to see some of you there.
