Insurance will be in place this afternoon and here's the course map for all you keeners! 

The course, of course, is subject to change at any moment.

Reminder -- timing equipment has to be picked up today.  Jo and I are leaving town tomorrow morning.

It struck me that if you had only a 1/2 day it could be worth it because you would probably get more than a regular day's worth of runs in!

Is anyone coming out who is near the SW corner of the city (Murray/Jo are in Woodbine) and can pick up the timing equipment?

Did anybody pick it up yet? I can swing by tonight, but don't want to drop by unexpected.

At this hour is would be best to call/text me if they need to be picked up: *edited to remove*

[Reijo]

Thanks but just got back (had my jacket to pick up from my niece's place in McKenzie Towne) ...  and picked up all the timing equipment and radios, chargers etc.  As it turns out, Murray and Jo are competing down in the 'States again next weekend so it is good to have the equipment for both weekends.

Budget wants a confirmation by 12/noon today.

Thus far we have 10 entries and break-even (even without washrooms) is 22 or 27 with washrooms (I have to order them too).

The FB poll had 27 people interested ... so, all you last minute stragglers, are you going to sign up?   

Let me know quickly (or if you can't sign up right now, PM or email or phone me) or we'll be cancelling the event.

Hmmm.....I might not be late for my nephew's b-day!   

Thanks,

Reijo

16 people ... so the only way I can make this work is to do a 1/2 day. Is that a problem for anyone? Say 12 - 4 pm.....I'll see if Budget is willing to go for that....for 1/2 price. I'll need help setting Saturday afternoon ... or maybe Sunday morning?

Note that with 1/2 of the expected people you can expect the same no. of runs but just in a 1/2 day... so you are still getting the same value for the money.   

[Reijo]

YYC/Budget is good with that!   We can do a 1/2 day....Sunday afternoon.  You can sleep in!     lol

So get back to me and we'll see what we can do.

[Reijo]

2  1 0 more confirmations.

We are a go!

[Reijo]

Hmmm....with less people I can think of all kinds of interesting "things" we can do.

Setup will be at 9 am Sunday morning (or just before? ... usually about 2 hours ... then have time for course walks.) ... Derek and Stephen M have already said they will help out.

[diamondedge]

I'll come by in the morning to help with course setup Reijo.

[Reijo]

Great!

The more there is of us to set up, the faster it will go.  Maybe I'll simplify it a bit as well ... less cones .... less to set up.

[Reijo]

runs will begin at "high noon".   

You can come earlier for course walks and such.  I am aiming to be there around 9 Amish to pick up the gate key, pay for the lot and start setting up.  We should have the course set by 11 am (usually takes about 2 hrs. ... perhaps less if I take out some extra cones).

There has been a bunch of photos by various people posted on the FB page if you are interested.

It was a good day, incidentally!  15 people showed so there were plenty of laps and quite a few people came early to help setup in the morning which worked out beautifully!  Thanks to all who helped setup and tear down the course!  I think it was record time that we assembled it!
