Why do I see signs  all over the Norristown Farm Park for April 9th for an orienteering event and nothing in the event schedule? The posters on the bulletine boards actually DVOA.  Just curious.

On the schedule, looks like May 9th for Senior Games. Now the question would be are the posters actually wrong?

I believe Mary frank is doing a beginner program that day. Looks like it got taken down by mistake. I'll confirm and post on schedule.

It's 'training' for the senior games. Very cool orienteering is apart of the games. Thanks for pointing it out

April 9 is on the Norristown Farm Park event schedule as a regular meet. ?Is it possible this was cancelled and nobody told the park? Ps drove by the park on the way home from Warwick. Giant sign says "Orienteering April 9".

Could someone be doing a pace and compass game and calling it Orienteering?

Please note that the April 9th Norristown Farm Park event is a beginner event and not a full course event.  There will be instructions at 10am.  Mary Frank is doing this event.
