Permanent Orienteering Course Markers
	by SMAC December 25, 2009 The club has plans to develop courses at Huron Meadows as well the Pontiac Recreation areas. The courses would be open to the public to practice their navigation skills. Each location will be identified by a 4x4 inch post with the control code identification. The club is hoping to find a volunteer to produce the markers. The club will pick up the cost of the materials. If you are interested in helping with this aspect of the project please contact Paul
