— ARDF schedule for 2021. —
This coming spring, with COVID-19, we are still unable to run CHCCS ARDF events.
The Backwoods Orienteering Klub (BOK) annual meeting was last Friday.
We were given permission to run two BOK events using all our own equipment at CNF.
This means that you can participate in one of these events for $7.
Those events will be on August 1 and October 10.
If you would like more, there are other BOK ARDF events.
Usual fees will be $17.
Itemized: $7 for the entry fee, $5 to rent a finger stick, $5 to rent a radio receiver.
We will put on BOK ARDF events at the Eno River State Park on April 18 and September 12.
BOK will also put on other ARDF events.
Our schedule is on
the usual page here.
The
BOK main page is here.
Stay safe.
