Title: TALL PINES WORK DAY Oct 17 09
Post by rosswood on 10/14/9 at 21:26:34

This Saturday, October 17th, is our Work Day in Bancroft for the Rally of the Tall Pines. There are a number of tasks to be done in Bancroft on Saturday including:
• Posting road closure notices as required by our road permission contracts
• Delivering letters to residents on the public roads that are used as stages
• Checking stage roads and our security notes about them
• Doing minor repairs to stage roads, including filling some minor washouts and removing exposed rocks
• Brushing and other preparation of spectator areas
• Testing HAM repeater system ( call in frequency 147.285+ tone 118.8)
• Removing trees that were blown down in the August tornado
• Various errands in Bancroft
We can use lots of bodies to assist with these tasks. According to our records, you have already volunteered, either according to your Worker Profile, by email or by word of mouth. If you are already committed to a specific task, please advise me ASAP by e mail.
Morning Meeting Location:
On Saturday we will meet at The Golton Spectator Stage between 10:00 and 10:30 A.M. To get there go south on Hwy. 62 for about 2.5 km from Bancroft. Turn left into the Fish & Game Club driveway. If you come to the ESSO or the Shell station, you have gone slightly too far.
Afternoon Meeting Location:
If you can’t come until later in the day or miss us, look for us at the main Spectator Area at the Watters Farm. To get there, go south from Bancroft on Hwy 62 to Quarry Rd. Turn left on Quarry Rd. Follow to the end. Tee Left onto Bronson Rd., proceed over the iron bridge and up the hill to the Spectator Area. You might also try the new Golton Spectator Area, which is behind the OK Tire store across from the ESSO on Hwy. 62 South in Bancroft.
Be Prepared:
Come well prepared with food, drink and lots of warm clothing. Gloves are advised. If you have any tools like shovels, rakes, picks and pry bars, saws or clippers, please bring them along. This time we are in particular need of saws.
HAM Radio Frequencies:
For those of you who have HAM radio, the frequency for the day will be 147.285+ tone 118.8 with 146.580 simplex as back-up.
Accommodations
If you wish to stay over for the RallyCross on Sunday and need a place to stay, we have arranged for Elmer’s Hunt Camp ($10). Contact me directly if you wish to stay there.

Worker Registration:
If you have not already signed up on the Worker Information Center website and updated or created a worker profile for this year's event, please do so if you can help us again this year. Visit www.tallpinesrally.com and click on “Workers“. We really heavily on that profile for our planning. If you have any difficulty with that, contact, contact me directly at ross@tallpinesrally.com
Thanks in advance for helping on Saturday.
