Date: Mar 15, 2009 (Sunday)

BAOC

Location: Briones Regional Park; Lafayette, CA

Directors: Michael Behrens (510.409.9285)
Course Setters: Jonas Kjall

Type: C; Low-key local. Offers a subset of courses of the regular local event

ADVANCED COURSES ONLY--there will be no Beginner (White/Yellow) or Intermediate (Orange) courses available due to park restrictions on parking

Note: This event is not at the "normal" Bear Creek entrance to the park.

The Briones (North) orienteering event will be held on Sunday, March 15th. Due to parking restrictions at the Alhambra entrance to Briones Regional Park (the north end of the map), there will be no beginner or intermediate courses. White, Yellow, and Orange courses will NOT be offered; the courses will be for advanced orienteers only. (We apologize to those looking for beginner courses. Please attend one of our other events.)

We will be using E-punch. Registration will be open from 9:00 AM to noon for non-members or those who need to rent an E-punch stick. Others can use the self-registration envelopes. Don't forget to visit the E-punch tent before you head out to the Start.

You can now pre-register using the link under the Events heading on the left-side menu. Registration is strongly encouraged, but it is not mandatory ... or binding. Please do not stay home just because you did not pre-register.

There will be an advanced-skills clinic offered at the event for all interested competitors. A short introduction will be offered at 9:30 AM (don't be late), which will be followed by some special drills. These drills were designed by Jay Hann to improve compass work and contour reading.

If you would like to help out and volunteer at the event, I can still use some extra bodies. Please contact Michael Behrens.
