[roc-info] FW: Buffalo O-club Saturday event

[Lyons, Michael C]

Our neighbors to the west, the Buffalo Orienteering Club, are hosting a mini-Rogaine this Saturday, September 26th, in Ellicottville.  It is a bit of a drive, but worth it for the orienteering (I've done a couple of their mini-Rogaines at this site in the past).  ROC members do receive BFLO member pricing at their events.

Mini-Rogaine	This is a Score-O / Mini-Rogaine lasting your choice of a 90-minute, 3 hour or 5 hour time limit. Numerous controls are placed over a large area. Locate however many you desire in any order within your pre-chosen time limit. It's a great format for both hard-core competition and casual family hiking. Our base is at Holiday Valley's Upper Ski Patrol and Training Center on Holiday Valley Road about two-thirds the way up the mountain. From the village of Ellicottville, take Route 219 south a short distance before turning right on Holiday Valley Road. Continue up the hill past the Clubhouse Chalet Lodge, and turn left at the signs for the Training Center or the nearby Yodeler Lodge. We use the WNY Mountain Bicycling Association's Ellicottville Area Trail Map comprising Holiday Valley, Holimont, McCarty Hill, Nine Mile Creek, Golden Hill, Art Roscoe, and Rock City. Map scale is 1:20,000 and in 5 colors.

Registration and Training for Beginners 10:30am-11:45am. Starting time Noon. Questions? Email the Meet Director Jackie Novkov, or call her at (716) 903-1180. Asst. Meet Director Doug Kennedy. Due to the length and complexity of this event, meet fees are higher than our standard local meets: $15 non-member, $10 member, $5 child under 12. Cost includes training, meet, map and after-meet picnic food and drinks.
