The Annual General Membership meeting (aka AGM) will be held at the McIntosh Reserve meet May 19th. This is your chance to participate in club business, vote on officers, bring up topics for discussion, and generally find out what went on last year and what the future plans are. Fred Zendt (our club president) will be sending out an agenda soon and you can contact him if you want something discussed.

We will also be orienteering! Of course. And having a picnic!

The AGM will start at noon. During the morning we will have orienteering starts (see below). The club will provide hot dogs, buns, and condiments. Your job is to bring food to share. The shelter has power and restrooms.

Schedule:
9:00-11:30: orienteering starts
11:00: dogs hit the grill
noon: AGM starts

Courses

The "Skill Drills" is a one person relay that consists of 4 skill drills. The idea is that you: punch the start and take a map - do that drill (which circles back to the start) take another map and do that drill repeat for 4 drills, or until you have had enough fun punch finish

Vinton has a fantastic program to score all this and report results, no matter how many drills you do.

Notes

1. Water will NOT be provided on any course. A camelbak water carrying device is highly recommended, particularly given the hot temperatures. Participants must bring their own compasses, whistle, and water. Additionally, please be respectful of meet and scoring officials by maintaining appropriate social distancing. DO NOT congregate around the scoring tent after you have downloaded.
2. Pre-paid pre-registration is required. (Registration will open for our volunteer meet directors at 7:00pm on Monday, September 11^th, and will open for other volunteer coupon holders at 8:00pm on Monday, September 11^th. Registration will open to everyone at 9:00pm on Monday, September 11^th.) No paper forms or payments will be accepted on-site.
3. Participants will be started promptly at the start time they select when pre-registering. To facilitate social distancing, please come to the start no earlier than 3 minutes before your start time, but be sure to be at the start on time.
4. Runners will have the option to run one or two courses using the same e-stick. If you want to run two courses, you must pre-register for both courses. On the pre-registration form, you will select your start time for your first course. At the event, when you are ready to start you second course, come back to the start to be assigned a start time. You must start your second course before noon.
