All,

As one of the A-meet initiatives made possible by our major gift, OUSA has been offering discount A-meet coupons for first time A-meet participants.

To date the program has been implemented by WPOC's Keystone Capers and BAOC's Sierra 3 Days. The Keystone Capers generated 20 first time A-meet participants from as far away as Louisville (7 hours)! The Sierra 3 Days coupons are still coming in (they aren't due until November 1st)

Moving forward, OUSA will be distributing coupons to regional clubs (+ posting on www.orienteeringusa.org) for the following A meets. Be sure to be on the lookout for...

October 21-23: Boston: CSU Fall Folliage Festival + United States Sprint/ Middle/ Long Champs

October 28-30: St. Louis: SLOC...United States Relay and Night O Champs

November 5-6: Gilroy, CA: Get Lost!! United States Rogaining Champs

November 19: San Francisco, CA Get Lost!! Sprint in the Golden Gate A meet.

Be sure to look out for these coupons and please use them if you have never run an A meet before...also pass them along to your friends.

If you have any questions...gjs@orienteeringusa.org.

The WPOC coupon was also used by a family from Craftsbury Commons, Vermont -- 11 hours away.

Guy is correct and I stand corrected.

Coupons for the Oct 28 A meet in St Louis and the Nov 6 US Rogaining Champs are now available for first timers. Visit www.orienteeringusa.org.

Oct 21 US S/M/L champs coupon in production and to be released soon.

All coupons are retroactive if you have registered.

Here's the link for the St. Louis meet.

And for the U.S. Rogaine Champs.

I assume the coupons for the SML champs and the Golden Gate A meet will be available shortly.

PG is correct. Coupon is being finished this week. As soon as it is done I will send it to Boardnet, Clubnet and all club leadership to New England clubs. Please share with first time friends.

You can find the coupons on the News page of the OUSA website now for the St. Louis meet and the U.S. Rogaine Champs -- look under the Events heading. When I receive the others they'll be linked from there too.

Was there a coupon for the UNO Boulder Dash? If so, could it be applied retroactively?

glen_schorr:
No. I approached the folks at the Boulder Dash and never got a call back...so there is no coupon.

Next weeks Boston coupon will be posted this weekend. You can use it (1) if it is your first A meet (not champs) and (2) you can use it if you have, or have not, registered.

San Francisco A meet with Get Lost!! Will be posted by the end of next week.

Boston coupon is finished and has been sent to the Event Directors of next week event + Boardnet and Clubnet. If someone can post here I would appreciate it.

In addition, if you are a first timer to any A meet, but have already registered, you can use this coupon.

Check http://OrienteeringUSA.org/news for all coupons, under the events heading.

I'll post future ones there too when I get them. They're customized for each event, with different redemption deadlines.

Janet...thanks for posting. San Franciso will be the last one this year. Hope to forward later this week. Have a good weekend.
