During the bodacious Doard of Birectors* meeting held July 1st, several decisions were reached.
New E-Punch Equipment
We are going to upgrade our electronic punch modules, all 40 of them. The modules are the small field pieces at the controls that you plug your finger sticks into, in courses that use e-punch instead of the regular paper punch. Old finger sticks will still work fine in the new modules, and these modules will be faster, smaller, consume less power and have software advantages as well.
Free Membership for Meet Directors
The meet directors deserve a round of applause from all of us. And the BoD thought maybe they deserved something a little more tangible... so starting in the upcoming season, all meet directors will have their annual COK membership paid for them by the club.
Updated Map Fees
The map fee schedule has been overhauled as well. Effective this upcoming season, there will be three tiers. The general public will pay $8 per map; special groups such as the Boy Scouts or the ROTC will pay $6 per map; and finally the revered COK paying members will pay only $5 per map, the same price as before.
Meet Schedule
A partial schedule of meets for the 2010 - 2011 season has been established, with room to add more as dates are firmed up. It kicks off with National Orienteering Day in mid-September. We'll let you know as new meets are added to the schedule.

There’s always a minor hassle getting registered at the start
of a meet. Everyone is crowding around the little table filling
out forms at once, and there’s a fair amount of delay before the
you get to hit the woods and the fun begins. Well, let’s see if
we can help.
Here’s our Meet Registration
form you can click on and print right off the website*.
Print as many copies as you need! It has the waiver for you or
an adult guardian to sign, and
all the information on pricing so you can have your money worked
out. Bring the completed registration form (and the cash-ola, of course) to the meet with you.
Application for Membership
Paying
your club dues and registering for a meet are really unrelated, so
we’ve made two forms instead of the older combined form. To join
the COK (or simply to renew), you may either mail in your check plus form or bring them to a meet.
Here is our Membership Application form*. Like the meet registration form above, it requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view or print. See below.

*Adobe’s free Acrobat Reader is required. It can be downloaded
here
if it’s not already on your computer. |
There is a standard form for Meet Directors’ use when emailing
results to the COK website. Using it will speed up the process, i.e.,
less translation and retyping will be involved. Take a look at this page which outlines the simple process. It’s easy. Meet Directors, vow to be fast this season! I’ll do the same.
