Note
Had NG board meeting.
Key points from conversation with Juanma, Violeta, Ethan, Sara Mae, Dave, Vilppu:
Focus on orienteering for PE classes. Do one demo class, then provide materials so teacher can continue for a week.
Charge for elite training. Can't afford to keep paying Ethan with no return, sadly. Elite training grant would help - do they exist?
Programs like Danehy Girls in Sports Day and Madrid O Olympics are efficient: they bring the schools to you. And in a good, challenging location. Spread out different ages (or skill levels) on different days). Winners get to go on to the next day, so younger kids can stick with it if they do well. Focus generally is on participation tho.
(last board meeting, Ethan:) train teachers
Catering to both recreational and competitive is good; they feed off each other and synergize. So don't abandon teams - just balance, and try and get others to coach them.

Idea for posters. Two nearly identical. Complicated maze.
1. If you can solve this while running, we want you. CRLS Orienteering.
2. If you can solve this while running through it, we want you. CRLS Varsity Orienteering.
