By almost all measures, the QOC classic orienteering event at the Pine Grove Area, Prince William Forest Park, on December 7 was a success. =After a week of lousy weather with a lot of rain, Sunday dawned sunny and cool, but not bad for December and almost perfect for winter orienteering. Vido Aleksiev designed some challenging courses at all levels and discovered that our maps of the area could use some updating. We had approximately 270 participants with 210 starts and a number of folks running two courses due to the nice weather. There were several new members and first time orienteers present and they had a lot of positive comments about QOC and the sport. A huge thanks to all the volunteers, especially Scott Sharp, who shadowed me all day in preparation for his upcoming Meet Director role. He was there from “dawn to dusk.” Ben Bloschock came early and helped with setup and other tasks. Valerie Meyer and Amy Louden ran the e-punch operation effectively, as usual, with help from Sara Lemanski, Tori Campbell, and Dan Tam Do. Registration was a challenge as we were not allowed to collect payment in the park, so we had to change the procedures somewhat. Our registration volunteers, Scott Sharp, Daniel Heimgartner, John Studach, Chip Becker, and Jeff Dickey did a great job adapting. Mark Hicks and John Baker provided much needed beginner instruction with lots of new folks showing up. Jim Thull handled parking control. We had an abundance of volunteers for control pickup and, due to the condensed nature of the meet area, not all were needed, but all will be recognized: Lauren Holian, Aaron Linville, Scott Sharp, Dan Pike, Mark & Rae Ann Hicks, Charles Carrick, Matthew Knight, and John Organek. A special thanks to John Baker, Virginia VP, who helped Vido set the controls and stayed to the bitter end and took all the meet materials off my hands! And once again, thanks to Vido Aleksiev who designed and set the excellent courses, with assistance from his wife and daughter.
