Please join GAOC on Saturday night, October 28th, for night orienteering with catered dinner at Dauset Trails Nature Center. We will have a short beginner course, and a score-o. Both courses have a 100 minute time limit. Controls on the score course range in value from 3 - 5 points. Overtime penalty is 1 point per minute.
As if the orienteering was not enough, dinner will be catered by the Henry County HS JROTC and paid for by GAOC for individuals who pre-register by midnight Thursday.
The dinner will include a chicken or pork bbq sandwich, baked beans, potato salad, dessert and drink.
If you pre-register, but later decide not to attend, please let me know (richardshane@comcast.net or 770-820-5361) so we can adjust our food order.
Those who don't pre-register by midnight Thursday may still buy dinner for $7.50 at the event, while supplies last.
Dinner and course start/finish will be at the bike trail head parking area, which is just west of the main entrance to Dauset Trails. See directions below.
You may choose to eat either before or after the orienteering, as dinner will be served from 6pm to about 9:30. Mass start will be about 7:30, or whenever it gets dark. Time limit for all courses is 100 minutes.
Please keep in mind, there are NO dogs allowed in the park. Seed ticks and chiggers are still superabundant, so be sure to bring insect repellent.
