61 Starts
ROC's National Orienteering Day event was held at Cavalry Lodge in Mendon Ponds on a Saturday of perfect weather, Sept 9. 
It was great to see some new faces !
Tyler Borden, created a very interesting set of courses that were shorter than normal, allowing the time for participants 
to finish one and then go out again on another. We had 61 starts. Thanks to Tyler for also keeping track of electronic 
timing and results.
Lots of volunteers were on hand to make for a wonderful event; Bob Bundy arrived early which really helped me out with 
meet set-up. Laurie Hunt assisted on many fronts. Registration was manned by Rukhsana Cofer, Heidi and Doug Hall, Zach 
Butler, Bob Bundy and Jackie Alexander. Zach B also helped Tyler set out controls and vet locations beforehand. 
Carl Palmer greeted people and answered questions. Nancy Burgey took over as meet director and food organizer so I 
could have some fun in the woods. Don Winslow set up a very popular string-O course for the youngest, and also was on 
hand for instruction. And lastly, flag pick-up was done by Steve Brooks, Ed Deller, Tom McNelly and Stina Bridgeman.
Thanks to all the participants who made the day a success,
Anne Schwartz ( event director )
