At the end of the Thanksgiving Family weekend, we can join our Orienteering friends (no such thing as an Orienteering enemy!) at a FREE members-only event on Sunday December 1 at Parkview Lodge at Webster Park. The event starts with a board of directors meeting at 2pm. Everyone is welcome to attend the board meeting. Following board meeting we'll enjoy a special orienteering activity beginning at 3pm. This year's special activity will be a "Memory-O" - see below. Our pot-luck meal will start at around 4:30pm and we will conduct our club's annual meeting at that time.

For our pot-luck, bring a dish to share according to your last name (listed below)…. Unless you have a favorite you’d like to share with the world.

A-H – Appetizers and salads

I-P - Desserts

Q-Z - Main dishes

The club will supply cold and hot drinks. Please bring your own cups, place settings (to minimize waste and clean-up) as well as serving utensils for the pot luck dishes.

Please pre-register on-line at the club website so we can plan for drinks and the orienteering activity - note that you have to logged in on the website to see this event listed and register.

You can become a member at the event – or go on-line if you want to use credit - $15 for one-year individual membership / $20 for one-year full family membership / $40 for three-year individual membership / $55 for three-year family membership

Memory-O Event:

At the start there will be a partial course map for each course. After you punch start you may study the map for as long as you like, but be polite to other runners who may also want to study the same map. When you are ready, leave the map behind and go to your first control. As you visit controls for your course you will find all the information required to continue along your course. Each partial map will guide you as far as you need to go to find more of your map. You may need to memorize multiple controls, depending on your chosen course. Maps will only be found at controls, but not every control will have a map for your course. Some controls will have multiple maps - make sure you study the right one for your course.

You will not carry a map at any time on any course. You may carry a compass. You may not make written notes.

Courses will be fairly short, so it will be possible to do multiple courses in 90 minutes or so.
