It was cold and windy, but the sun was out so we could pretend it was warmer. Charles set an excellent course – it even required map reading – which isn’t easy at Dix. Some people did both the short and long course. The short course was a subset of the long course. An asterisk […]

Regional travel is unadvisable and our out-of-town participants have not indicated that they are coming, so this is no longer a “Regional” event, but a great weekend event featuring two BOK ARDF competitions. Of course, out-of-town participants are certainly welcome.
Charles has generously offered to set both a 2m and 80m course at Thornburg Farm, so we will meet at the Farm House on both Saturday and Sunday. For those who have the energy, please plan on helping with the control pickup at 2pm.
We recognize that Covid-19 is ubiquitous in NC, so please read and follow all our Covid-19 policies so we can all stay safe.
