Short report:
Overall success with good weather and al-right courses. The only surprise was the environmental lady to whose concern we quickly reacted and steered the courses away from the most vulnerable part of the map by some midnight updates to the printouts. The second day courses decreased in length by 1.2 km because of that. We might have not done it either - I don't think anything would have changed. 
The choir by the dinner table was most impressive. 
The photos are scattered through the facebook, but I am trying to upload a big set of them into flickr - it is taking lots of time somehow. 
We had 32 measured starts on day 2 and 26 on day 1. 

Map updates: there were some small issues with the map. If you have some time to do updates, I could share you the map. Please let me know and also the OCAD version you can work with. 

Improvements for the next time: 
1) I will probably ask someone to do at least one of the two days. 
2) I need to organize the emailings better - I have started a facebook group for homebrew OC, but not sure where it will go, please join if you want to - that will probably be a warranty I will not miss you in the next emailings, probably some time in the fall. 
3) for the races - I will probably use some eventbrite registration utility next time.
