This Sunday, September 19th, we will celebrate National Orienteering Day with a meet in Highland Park.
The main goal of this meet is to introduce orienteering to people who haven't tried it before. Those
people will orienteer for free! So why not bring some friends and neighbors along? The courses will
be easier than usual, because the park is mostly open, and not too large. This is a chance to add some
speed, if you're so inclined, or just take a tour of the park at a beautiful time of year. And there are
still opportunities to get confused, as I did there at my first meet, though it was almost my back yard!
There will be white, yellow, and orange courses (i.e., beginner to intermediate) and special courses for GPS users.
We can also use help, whether it is manning a table for a while, or just reaching out to newcomers who may be unsure of what to do.
Starts will be as usual, from 12 to 2, with registration starting at 11:30. We will start at the Recreation Center behind
School # 12, in Rochester on South Avenue just northwest of Highland Park, opposite Highland Hospital. Look for orange and white signs.

The next meet will be a challenging Score-O at Irondequoit Bay Park East.
Course setter Joe Seyfried has put together a great course on the steep
terrain and trails along side the bay for those of you who think you're up
to it. For newer and more relaxed orienteers, he has included a White Course
as well. In addition, we will be hosting our first 'advertised' GPS event.
The start of the meet will be at 6:30PM on Wednesday July 14.
Most of you are already familiar with the Score-O and the White course. The GPS
event will consist of several controls taken from the White Course as well as
controls from the Score-O course. You will receive a list of coordinates and
will be able to download them from a laptop at the meet if you have the right cable.
The available software (Easy/Expert GPS) communicates through either a USB cable or a
serial cable. You will also receive a map of the park without any marked controls and a clue sheet.
