That should cover the basics. Volunteering would be helping out the club a great deal...sorry, can't let a non-instructor drive. You don't have to sign up to just come out and float around meeting people and helping out wherever. Everyone is welcome of course. Thanks a bunch and please PM me if you have any questions!

Pat,

I'll lead the course setup efforts. Get me 3 other volunteers, and we'll have the whole thing set up in 30-45 minutes.

We don't need someone to tow the trailer, we need someone to drive the club truck (sporting a new engine) & trailer from/to the storage lot. If one of the instructors is willing to do this, we can probably find you a vehicle to use for instructor runs.

-Steve

p.s. Nikki & Matt didn't want to deal with the food this year, so Shane "volunteered" to order food/beverages & arrange for pick-up or delivery onsite. We approved a bit more budget than last year, to cover party subs or similar.

[Matt D.]

I am available to help Saturday and Sunday with whatever. I planned on at least spectating on Sunday.

[rdub]

I'll help with any set up on Sunday AM
As well as instruct if you want

[JKarsten]

I will help with course set up and stick around for tear down and clean up. I will be around for whatever else you guys need

[ChillyW]

Since I'm there for the school anyway, I'll plan on being there early to help with setup. I should be able to help with teardown at the end as well.

[EWAustin]

I'm planning on being around to help, but in case something comes up and I can't make it I'd prefer to stay off of any lists.

[tyrayb]

Put me down for teardown/cleanup.

Tyler

[engifineer]

Not 100% sure what times I can be there, but I plan to make it out and hang around/watch on sunday. So I will help out where I can then.

By the looks of things.. I guess I should bring my coat !!!!!! :flame:

Hey...we have a couple weeks yet. Summer is going to hit fast and hot...I can feel it!

Thanks for everyone's volunteering so far! One big thing is the truck trnasportation. Maybe Steve can jump in and tell us about where it's located...maybe that wil help.

[Andres3165]

I can be a floater on sunday


Andres

[magicsammy]

[Amy]

I can help out in the timing trailer and wherever else I'm needed.

[Peter]

I can help out all day Sunday.

[wannabfast]

i can be a floater on both days, if need be, but if ya dont NEED me need me, let me know

There really isn't specifically anything to do on Sunday, so I'm not going to list any more "floaters" for Sunday. Everyone is welcome to show up and watch, hang out, whatever. You don't need to check in here if your just going to be there. (Tai, we don't "need" anyone on Sunday, but thanks for offering!)

I do need some of the positions filled. Mainly, and perhaps most importantly, getting the equipment truck to and from the site. Anyone?

[MNbiker]

One note - something the floaters can help with during runs is helping ensure the course workers understand their jobs. Creating a new crop of trained course workers is a valuable side-benefit of the Novice School.

Pat,

I will fill in on the course set up spot.

[speedyham]

Does the truck only need to be brought to and from the event on Sunday?

[MNbiker]

Does the truck only need to be brought to and from the event on Sunday?
I depends on whether Josh and/or Shane have or can pick up the equipment they need for the Timing PhD class or not. Assuming they do, the truck/trailer will only need to be used on Sunday.

[washburn]

OK..I'm starting to get a little worried here with a week to go...no truck, no school.

I'll bump this up again. I would do it myself, but I'm from out of town and can't manage it. OK...who want to be the hero? Thanks!!

[Andres3165]

Pm'ed you

Andres

[speedyham]

Unless Andres has it already, I'll drive the truck to and from on Sunday. If the trailer is needed on Saturday I'll drive it to and from where ever it needs to be and probably catch a ride and not be around during the day. Who wants to meet me at the truck or somewhere to give me the keys and gate code?

Since I'll be there all day Sunday I can help with setup and teardown as well.

[magicsammy]

I can drive it as well if there are any issues

[washburn]

Note - Sean is also on the approved driver list. Sean & Steve, can you two work out who's going to drive?

[washburn]

OK...I'll wait to see who "gets" to drive the truck! :) Let us know...Thanks guys!

[speedyham]

I sent Steve (magicsammy) a PM, between the two of us we will figure something out and get the truck where it needs to go both days.

[washburn]

Sean, I put you down as the guy. You can have Steve help if you want of course. I'll assume that you will take care of getting anything else you need. Thanks a bunch!

[dmoo]

hi -

I will be out there all day sunday (gf is running the school) is there anything else you need help with, setup/take down related or timing, i have never helped time but would be interested if there was anything.

let me know

-Dan

[washburn]

Your always welcome to just jump in and help wherever...course setup, teardown and packing, ... Maybe just wander around the corners and help give course working tips to the newbies. Thanks!!

[Matt D.]

This weekend turned out to be the only time I could get my timing belt changed before MOWOG 1 so I'll be doing that Saturday. I'll try to make it on Sunday if I can.
