SConet is the E-mail network for all Orienteers in Southern California.

SConet is your place for local O-News.and discussion   Event reminders / directions / course notes /car-pooling/more. LONG reports, such as Write-ups & Results should not clog up the e-mail, but be sent to Web-master(plain text plz) for display on the club's web. An announcement will then be posted via SConet

We recommend you also join USOFClubnet and BAOC and for really serious orienteers Attackpoint
