Greetings from the world of cut and paste, real and cyber. This issue should be arriving with your Xmas cards, so feel free to tape it around your door so you'll know where it is later. The staff here at ONB Notes can tell it's the last issue of the season because our fingers are cold after typing all the fall results. Since the COF isn't producing as much hot air this year, our basement office is feeling the change of season.
Your scribe had the dubious distinction of attending the Fredericton Foxes' annual general meeting (AGM) as well as the ONB AGM this fall. Having cleared my mind of predispositions and cleansed my palate similarly, I can unequivocally state that the food was much better at the ONB AGM - the menu fuller, the choices greater. There was, however, too much talk on both occasions to permit any proper digestion. A summary of the ONB AGM minutes is included in this issue.
With respect to the past season, the staff here at the Notes unabashedly pointed out that the editor, yours truly, did not even make the list of ranked orienteers in New Brunswick. Suggestions were rampant that I avoided the meets used for ranking to avoid embarrassment. This is simply not true, and I will sufficiently embarrass myself next season to prove this point. I'm ever hopeful that our leader and president, Renegade Ray, will agree to leave the M35 category to us lesser sorts. As always, there's next year. And I've already started my winter training program - even I can't believe that I had to shovel the driveway twice in the first week of December.
If you have anything you want to pass on (something that is publishable), please feel free to do so - our plight remains the same, the address remains the same. Remember our motto: if you don't know what your are doing, do it neatly. Which reminds me, what has two legs, one wheel, and flies?
