A. Bob reviewed details of Bob Turbyfill's upcoming USAFA training session and practice courses (10/28 & 10/29). Leif will have a few hours available on the morning of 10/28 to set controls. Doug is transferring the old map into OCAD and he also plans to do some field checking. RMOC will need to plan, set, and administer White & Yellow courses at Fox Run on 11/5. B. We discussed the meet schedule. 2011: Leif's CU-Boulder meet on 10/23 will have different course options this time. 2012: General review of dates and locations. * Westcliffe ROGAINE is still going to happen, but Bob isn't sure if a sanctioning request has been submitted. Bob will try to get in touch with Steve Willman for details. * We shuffled some dates in Bob's draft schedule to account for weather, permits, etc. * Leif is willing to set a day of courses in Laramie if we help put on a two-day A-meet in conjunction with Laramie Daze. Bob feels that Mikell would probably be very open to that. But -- RMOC would need to supply vetters, an e-punch crew, registrar, meet director, start crew, etc. Leif suggested that we could have a barebones format instead. Bob will discuss with Mikell. * 2012 Western States Championships? C. We discussed the possibility of reducing CSOL entry fees in 2012, based on input from some of the JROTC instuctors. $8? $6? We had 15 trophies left over this year; re-using them in 2012 will cut costs a bit (since trophies were the biggest CSOL expense in 2011). Bob will follow-up with the CSOL instructors and we'll discuss again in depth at a future meeting. Also, Leif suggested that we should have at least two Orange courses at the 2012 CSOL meets, to accommodate large groups. Doug countered that our logistical limit is about 200 runners anyway (due to parking constraints, etc.), so maybe we should have separate meets for CSOL. Leif commented that setting up separate meets will take a lot more volunteer manpower. Chatfield State Park, Bear Creek Lake Park, and Cherry Creek State Park all have ample parking; Fox Run has very limited parking (we exceeded our permit limit at Fox Run this year...). D. Could we host Interscholastics / Intercollegiates in 2013? Leif's idea is: Sprint at CU-Boulder and then Middle and Long courses at Kelly Dahl and Observatory. Doug will check status of USFS tree-thinning at Kelly Dahl and Observatory. Leif is willing to serve as the main liaison for getting a permit at CU-Boulder. E. If we host the Interscholastics / Intercollegiates in 2013 in the Boulder area, we would put-off our A-meet at Camp Alexander / Sledgehammer until 2014. Or maybe we could host the 2013 Interscholastics / Intercollegiates at Camp Alexander / Sledgehammer. 2013 Interscholastics / Intercollegiates at Peaceful Valley as a fallback plan? F. Bob wants to schedule a mapping meeting for next week. Bob will check with Brian Coleman to see when he'll be available. G. Bob relayed an update from OUSA Executive Director Glen Schorr: YMCA of the Rockies and Snow Mountain Ranch are both interested in possible orienteering maps. H. Idea from Leif: set up a collegiate league in conjunction with CSOL. Leif will pursue this and report back at a future meeting.
