6 June 1998 Green Lakes Detailed Information

Where to meet
Registration/start/finish is at the Reserve Shelter, an open stone pavilion with tables and a concrete floor. There will be signs to direct traffic to it. There's lots of parking across from the ball field - we're told we'll have the whole area to ourselves this year.

When to come
Special instruction clinic for the Empire State Senior Games (ESSG) participants is at 11:00. All the ESSG participants, who will wear bib numbers to distinguish them from everyone else, will start first. First start is at noon. Once they're off, anyone who's interested in going on one (or more) of the courses is welcome to start.

Courses
Anyone: White, Brown, Green
Non-ESSG competitors only: Yellow, combo

The courses available to ESSG particpants are White (non-competitive, no medals), Brown and Green. Non-competitors may go on any of these courses once the ESSG competitors have all started. People who are not particpating in the ESSG may choose instead to go on a Yellow course, or may combine two or more of the courses to make a custom course.

Park entrance fee refunds
Green Lakes State Park has a $4 entrance fee. Anyone with an ESSG credentials tag or anyone arriving at the park before 9am (you can watch the Triathlon!) does not have to pay the entrance fee. Orienteers arriving after 9 without ESSG credentials must pay the entrance fee but can get a refund by following these steps:

This seems bureaucratic and costly, but that's how Green Lakes wants to do it.

Volunteers
Volunteers are always welcome!

Anyone who'd like to help set up should arrive by 10 and present themselves to Barb for an assignment. Experienced orienteers who can help teach the Seniors Clinic at 11 and/or help with regular event registration will be gratefully greeted -- please call Barb at 315/458-6406 and/or arrive by 10. If you're not experienced or can't arrive early, please consider helping record finishes or figure results; no experience necessary.
