Information
<p><strong>Reminder if this is your first time out in 2014, it counts as a NEW YEAR! Bring 10$ for your membership for 2014</strong><span style="line-height: 1.428571429;"> - new year! new membership! (if possible come 5 minutes early to complete membership paperwork if you haven't already done so for 2014)</span></p><p><strong>Description for this WET</strong></p><p><strong>Primary Organizers:</strong></p><p>Emily Ross - Event Director/Course Planner</p><p><strong>Description</strong></p><p>Vanier Park is a mixture of grass fields, buildings, and a small forest section with trails. There will be a dog bones course as well as a point-to-point course for beginners. Dog bones is an type of score-o event, but you have to get pairs of controls in the order of your choice instead of a single control. It's up to you to decide which order you think is the fastest. If you've never done dog bones before, it's lots of fun with some quick decision making! The ground is really soggy right now, so wear something you're prepared to get wet!</p><p><strong>Schedule</strong></p><p>6:30pm Introduction to Orienteering for Beginners</p><p>6:30pm Starts begin</p><p>8:00pm Course Closure, participants must report to the Finish by Course Closure Time.</p><p><strong>Courses</strong>:</p><p>Two courses will be offered, one of which is shorter point-to-point course and suitable for beginners/families. The other of which is a longer dog bones course (although you can make it any length you want).</p><p><strong>Safety Precautions</strong>:</p><p>It's wet! Bring a headlamp as it will be dark. Also, some of the course goes on single track trails, so you might prefer long pants. A whistler is also required. There may be some cars although it is a very low traffic road. Please use caution when crossing roads.</p><p><strong>Parking/Start/Finish Locations:</strong></p><p>The parking, finish, and start location is at the City of Vancouver Archives parking lot close to the Vancouver museum. Parking is free after 5:30pm and there are also pay parking lots around the area. The closest bus stop is at Cypress and Cornwall (the 2 and 22 stop here).</p><p><strong>Post-Event Dining</strong>:</p><p>A restaurant in the neighbourhood. Perhaps Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company?</p><p><strong><br></strong></p><hr>
