Black Bear call for workers

[wedge]

I'm just passing this along:


Maple Leaf Rally Club is pleased to present the Black Bear Rally on Saturday, June 18, 2005 in Dorset, Ontario. Due to the initiatives of an eager new committee under Ryan Huber, for the first time in many years the Bear will be a full Regional event i.e. not just one road. In addition to the traditional Sherbourne Lake stage, we will be running stages on the Pine Springs and Ril Lake roads, giving a full 100 km. of competitive stages. This is due to major road repairs having been done by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the support of RallySport Ontario in the project in order to have a full stand-alone Regional again in Ontario.

This means that we need your help on the day of the event. Lots of ham radio operators, timing marshals, traffic control marshals and crowd control marshals will be required.

Another new feature for this year is the provision of stage notes by the organizers with competitors getting one pass of every stage early Saturday morning to familiarize themselves with the notes. A few workers will be required to assist with that. The bulk of the workers will be needed by 9 A.M. on Saturday.

So please mark June 18th on your calendar and respond to ross.wood@sympatico.ca to confirm your attendance.

Note – we also need volunteers for a Road Work Day on Saturday, May 28th.

2nd call:


Thanks to those of you who already responded to the first call for workers for the Black Bear Rally, which will run on Saturday, June 18, 2005. We now have enough marshals and HAM radio operators for ONE stage team , but this year with the expansion to a full regional event, we need THREE teams. So please put your name forward to come out and help. Also ask your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend or grandmother.

No experience required. We will train you.

The rally will run in the Dorset area – about 2.5 hours north of Toronto. You can come up, help out and return on the day of the event or stay overnight, whichever you prefer.

We also have a Work Day scheduled for Saturday, May 28th. That day we will be smoothing out some rough spots, filling in a few potholes etc.

So please mark those dates on your calendar and respond to ross.wood@sympatico.ca to confirm your attendance.

This is an excellent way for interested people to get involved in rally.
As it says in the posts, no experience is required. They train you, and most of the work involved is easy and fun anways.
You'll get to see what happens "behind the scenes" at a rally event. Including alot of things you'll never get to see as a spectator. Not to mention all the great new people you'll get to meet.

I'm hesitant to volenteer for this one.. The blackflys in Dorset that time of year are at the peek.. If anyone IS thinking of heading up for this. Invest in some good bug gear.. I was a bloody bleeding mass (literaly!) the first (last?) time I made this event.
