Notes by Tom Hamblin, Meet Co-director:

• Just like last year , we were lucky with the weather!  Of course orienteering is an all-weather sport, so we would have been there even it was pouring rain.  Keep your fingers and toes crossed for next year. 
• My personal thanks go to Don Ross, the course setter, Robert Walsh, our meet director and registrar, to the teachers, coaches, and parents who helped with the marshalling, and to the gang from the Toronto Orienteering Club who took a day off work to make this meet possible. 
• Last year there were a number of entries that did not successfully complete the course.  This year the competitors were much more accurate.  Were you practicing?  We hope so.  Orienteering is a technical sport that takes some experience to do .  We encourage you all to come to some of the Wednesday evening meets next year ahead of the School Meet to get that needed practice. 
• If you are reading these results, you have found the Toronto Orienteering Club website.  You can see that we have a full schedule of events over the summer and into the fall and winter in conjunction with other orienteering clubs in Ontario.  If you really liked your orienteering experience, suggest to your parents that you come out as a family to a meet and you can show them how to orienteer (we can help instruct as well).  This is a lifetime sport and you might find that your parents actually like orienteering.  We have members from about 8 to 75 years of age. 
• This year the 11-14 trophy donated by the Toronto Orienteering Club was won decisively by Bellmore P.S. in the Hamilton area.  We look forward to seeing last year's winner, Chedoke M. S. of Hamilton, trying to regain the trophy next year.  The original Silva Trophy, renamed the 15-19 Silva trophy, was won again by Westmount Secondary School of Hamilton.  Our congratulations to both schools.  We look forward to a renewed competition next year and we hope a calmer situation in the schools that will permit a larger attendance.  We also plan to delay the meet by one week to May 18, 2005 to try to dodge the provincial testing.  
• Lost and Found:  A perfect record this year – nothing lost and nothing found!  Contact Tom Hamblin at hamblin@mirusinternational.com if you did lose or find something. 
• School and Individual Results follow on pages 2 and 3.  I offer my apologies for the delay in posting the results.  I misplaced the whole file for 10 days and just could not find it – however my wife did!  So here are the school and individual results for you. 

I hope to see you orienteering,

Tom Hamblin
