[roc-info] Pinewood information

[Wornerkohn at aol.com]

      This Sunday we will be holding our final regular meet of the year at 
Pinewood Girl Scout Camp.   We will be using the dining hall as our registration 
site.   Since the water is turned off for the season we will need to use the 
outhouses instead of the indoor bathrooms.   The parking area is a couple 
hundred yards down the road from the dinning hall and start area.   You will be 
able leave clothes and other items in the dinning hall while you compete.
     Pinewood is one of our best maps and with the leaves coming down the 
visibility and running should be quite good.   We will be using e-punching on all 
courses.   When you register you will receive a number to pin on the outside 
of your clothing where it can be seen by the start and finish crew.   All maps 
will be in boxes in bags at the start line with clues printed on the back of 
the maps. After you punch the start box you may look at your map and go. A few 
extra White maps will be kept at registration for clinics and instuction.
     We would like to introduce some new categories for this meet to start a 
discussion of standardizing our local meet standards to be more in line with 
USOF guidelines.   Standard categories would also let us introduce some ranking 
possibilies within the club in the future.  You should always select your 
course based on the perception of your ability rather than your age.  Open 
categories exist on all the courses. It will be helpful to the people working at 
registration if you know what course and category you want to do when you arrive.
     When you finish insert you EP in the finish box and then give your 
registration number to the finish person so we know that you have finished.  If you 
don't finish your course please come to the finish to punch and let us know 
you're safely out of the woods. Everyone needs to download after returning from 
a course so you will included in the results.  You might want to keep your 
own time on a watch in case of an e-punch malfunction. Results will be posted by 
lists updated as the meet progresses.
     Starts are from 12-2.   If you are planning on running a longer course 
that may take you a while please try to get there early so that we have time to 
pichk up controls before dark.   Daylight saving time ends this weekend.

We plan to offer the following courses & categories,

WHITE -     Beginner               (1.9K)              M/F 12 & under, Open

     Pinewood is about an hour and a half south of Rochester. Start out by 
heading south on Route 390 to exit 4 (Dansville). Follow Route 36 south for 2.6 
miles until you see the sign for Stoney Brook Camping Area at Oak Hill Road 
(Route 48). Turn left onto Oak Hill Road (Route 48). Go straight through the 
next intersection and continue driving for about 4 miles until you come to Willey 
Rd. Turn left onto Willey. Pinewood will be on your right. We'll have "O" 
signs starting at the turn onto rte. 47.

     We are looking forward to a great event.   Please contact us if you have 
any questions.
