Event: NEOC: AGM and Horn Pond
Note
On the NEOC Annual General Meeting:
The weather conditions were not optimal - 10 C and dreary, but a doughty crew of about thirty orienteers made it out for the event. I set controls, then scurried off to Kinko's to print some documents for the meeting. I haven't run on Horn Pond before, but my impression from the feedback and my own observations is that the map is unremarkable, and the terrain not worthy of attention beyond a club member updating the map.
As I have mentioned, there were six spots, three incumbents running for reelection, and three excellent new candidates. After a long sequence of reports, the present membership and the proxy ballots - totaling about 40, in excess of the 20 (10% of membership) needed for quorum, elected the candidates by acclamation.
Regarding events, I reported on three things:
- The 2011 NEOC Schedule
- A-meet possibilities
- Mapping
Brief paragraphs are not effective at summarizing the considerations and challenges in each of my responsibilities, so I will expand them at greater length in subsequent entries.
