Calling Novice School Instructors

[washburn]

OK...I guess it's that time of year!!!!!!! We need volunteers for the Novice schools. Looking for 15 to 18 instructors to keep the student / instructor ratio in the sweet spot.

If you have instructed in the past, please post here if you can make one, both, or the other.

If you have not instructed in the past, send me a PM if you want to participate.

As always, instructor only are allowed about a hour demonstration session where you will take students for a happy fun ride in their own car. :) I also need someone to arrange and transport lunch to the site. Anyone is allowed, no...encouraged, to show up even if they are not instructing. We always need a little help with coaching corner working, working in timing and scoring, and just showing up to cheer on our group.

I should be able to make the Sunday half of both schools.

[JCN]

Jocelin and I are in for the April school.

[MNbiker]

Pat,

I'll be there to instruct at both schools.

You can put me down for course setup as well (I think I could set that course up in my sleep by now :p ).

-Steve

[gsk8r]

Ivan and I can instruct at the April school. I have to work that Saturday, though.

[914 Dave]

I will be there at classroom and instruction for both schools.

[MNbiker]

Pat,

I added timing setup to your list of workers. :)

[73GT]

I'll be there both days for whatever.


Lee F.

[hafftrak]

I can help with driving the truck, course setup, teardown, whatever you need.

[AlexL]

I'll be there.

[Andrew]

I'll be there.

You know Alex, as much as you may want to, you can't take students for rides in the FMod.

[murph]

I can instruct for school #2, if you'll take me.

[magicsammy]

I can be there for school #1

[JKarsten]

I will be there for both

[Dave Kral]

I should be able to be there for both.

[sbuetow]

I can be there for #1.

Steve Buetow

[porkbone]

For now, go ahead and put me down for school #1

[AQuimby]

I can do the first school.

[washburn]

OK...we are pretty much in the sweet spot for #1...could use more in the June school. We can take a couple more, 'cuz someone occasionally doesn't show. Also need FOOD person....this is a big one!!! Everyone wants lunch, and I really need help on this one. Thanks!!!

[njbed]

Put me down for food for the 1st school. I can more than likely instruct at the second one if you need me.

[Matt D.]

Pat, per my PM to you a couple weeks ago I can help with food and anything else on Sunday for the April school. Setup, teardown, whatever.

[Andres3165]

I've been on the road since the 2nd, just saw this post ,I will be available for both

Andres

[gpshumway]

I will be participating in the June novice school, but I'd certainly be willing to help with the food.

[phile]

I will be participating in the June novice school, but I'd certainly be willing to help with the food.

If you are a student in the school, I am going to tell you the same thing that Jim McKamey told me at my first McKamey School: Don't do any club stuff today, we want you fully involved in the school.

Seriously. Whether you are driving, working the course, riding with an instructor or munching on a sandwich in a lunch-time discussion period, you are soaking up information and experience. We can call on you for culinary tasks at some other time. ;)

If, on the other hand, you are volunteering to help with food at the April school, that's different. Check with Jody to see how you can help.

[washburn]

Yup...your paying for the school, that's all you are going to do!

Matt D volunteered to do food for the April one..(thanks Matt!!!!) Phil...Jody???

[Andres3165]

I can help with course set up Both events

andres

[jules]

Sorry I just saw this post. I was planning on helping with the April novice school if you still need me--put me wherever. Otherwise, put me down for #2. Let me know.
Jules

[Toothy]

Shoot, I just saw this too! I can help wherever on Sunday the 25th! I'll be there :)

[njbed]

I will be there until about 2pm so anything that needs done. I guess I will attempt timing setup. That could be interesting I will attend timing PHD on Sat so I will know more than I do now.

see Post 20. Jody was the first to volunteer for food, so I thought she was coordinating it. I didn't catch the "prior PM" bit.

[washburn]

Ahhhh...I totally blew that. Sorry Jody. Or Nick (Plus I cannot tell sometimes who is logged on...your screen name is njbed...that could be Nick or Jody. Help me out folks...please use your names.)

Can either of you do it for the June school? I really appreciate you both stepping up, but now I have 2 in April and none in June. Anyone else for June? Plus, there's no reason 2 can't do it...makes it a lot easier!

I should be able to do June but I'm not 100% sure I will be available. We can plan on it for now though. I will be there in April so what ever needs done I can help with.

[shane86]

Pat, put me down for timing setup both days.
i can do food if it comes down to it, but i'd really prefer someone else... i'll have enough gear to try and stuff into the subaru with all the timing gear before i try and stack food on top of it.

[SUV-ETR]

Somehow I missed this thread!

Put me down for the June school. SoloPro asked for a last-minute instructor the weekend of the first school, and it looks like you've got plenty of help already.

Not sure about Katie...perhaps she'll actually check the board someday. But you can probably hit her up 24x8 on Facebook...that's how I usually get in touch with her. :lol:

Neal

[the tick]

Pat, I'm planning on the 1st school (both days), I'll have to check back in for the second

[washburn]

Thanks Neal!! I'll include Katie too...she will just have to look once in awhile.

[gpshumway]

Thanks for the free pass on work, Phil. I figured most of the food work would fall outside of school time and didn't see anybody else volunteering. If nobody else can do it I'm still willing to pick up the grub and turn it over to someone else for distribution at the event.
