weather looking like cold and wet, possibly flurries? Dress warm everyone, bring a shovel too

[Reijo]

That's not what I see - 60% chance of sunshine and above freezing even at night (low of +2 before that is - Saturday night/Sunday morning).  +12C for a high.

However, this is Calgary and I would not necessarily trust the weather forecast one day before!  LOL   

[Midnightsky]

It would seem the weather forecast has changed in the last hour lol, go figure, the potential flurries is now Sunday night into Monday.  Hopefully its nice and dry for Sunday

Reijo, I am available on Sat afternoon for setup if required?

cheers,

Bill.

[Reijo]

Didn't realize I was doing the course design for a change ... LOL .... forgot!!!

OK how does 4 pm tomorrow (Saturday) sound for setup?  Cones are on-site already so it should take less time than ever!   

I was kinda hoping for a rain event but the forecast for rain is fading .... hahaha

any chance of an earlier time?

Bill

[Reijo]

What are you thinking?

I have some work to do on the car with Tim before that and I won't be able to if I come much earlier. ... never mind regular work that I'm behind on ...

Please make sure the small helmet makes it into the load from the locker this week, looks like I'll have one of my daughters along again for Sunday's event.

Thanks, John

[Reijo]

I think all the helmets are already at the locker except that Cam and I have some of the helmets from Fort Macleod that we brought back.

2 or 3pm would work for me.

Bill.

[Reijo]

I am almost certain that I cannot make 2 pm .... 3 pm might be a struggle as well, but I can try and see what I can do.

Or maybe if you don't mind going early (along with anyone else), I can send you the special set-up maps and arrange to have access to the cones.

Cones can be setup for grid very easily like usual along the two rows (even without a map).

In the meanwhile, I'll get there as soon as possible.

I'll send you an email, Bill (Ridge).

[Reijo]

It is supposed to rain at night so we might not line the course since it will wash away ... so we'll see.  I may use more lay-down cones in lieu of lining.

[Reijo]

By the way, I'm going to propose to the executive, and everyone for that matter, that for the people coming to help out on Saturday for set-up, that set-up should be considered their work assignment.  This way, they will not be required to work on Sunday (unless they wish to volunteer to help out in other ways of their own volition).

The people coming out on Saturday are making an extra trip and spending 1.5-2 hours helping to setup ... That is a lot of work and time ... plus their travel time, let's not forget!

I have also noticed that it is often the same people helping out at the end of the day putting away the cones (in storage etc).  Of course, this will be a much simpler process with the cones being stored right on the lot.       Yes, I can see this being a really good thing!   

So thanks for the help!

I am planning on a longer course, so give yourself a bit more time than usual to walk the course.
