The Rodney meet on 2 March has been moved to the fall, do to the snow and ice on Elk Neck.  The final fall date is still in question.

Current plan is to put Rodney on October 12 and change the venue for the November 9th Mid Atlantics.  One of the Fair Hill maps is a likely choice.  We need a course setter for the Mid Atlantics so their input could influence the venue selected.

:( I was really looking forward to running at Rodney but I will be going to NAOC. I know scheduling is tough sometimes, we just need more weeks in the year :).... nice weeks.

Yes, this year the local scheduling was especially tough with three Northeastern A events in October. Better to have a weekend with a choice of two than to face a weekend with none at all.  Note that on that one October weekend with no A event we are now planning to have a two day local on Washington Crossing Saturday followed by Brandywine on Sunday.
