Tall Pines Work Day:

This notice is going out to everyone who has either indicated on their Tall Pines online Worker Registration or by email that you will be attending the Tall Pines Work Day, this Saturday, October 26th. We can still use more help, so if you can talk anyone else into coming, please do. 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 and control zones with special emphasis on the Golton property this year
•      Testing HAM repeater system
•      Removing trees that are hanging too close to the road
•      Various errands in Bancroft
If you are already committed to a specific task, please advise me ASAP by e mail.If it turns out you will not be attending, please email me.

Morning Meeting Location:

This year we will be meeting at the Golton Spectator stage, as we have much more to do there than in other years.
So on Saturday we will meet at The Golton property between 10:00 and 10:30 A.M.  To get there go south on Hwy. 62 for about 2.5 km from the junction of Hwy. 28 & Hwy. 62 in Bancroft. Turn left into the Fish & Game Club driveway. If you come to the ESSO station, you have gone slightly too far. Coordinates are N45 02 432  W 077 49 803

Afternoon Meeting Location:
If you can’t come until later in the day or miss us,  try to contact us on the radio or by phone or by texting (cell reception is really sketchy out on the stages). Otherwise just go to the Golton stage.
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.
We have a lot of weed-whacking and brush removal to do at Golton, so if you have a power weed-whacker, chain saw etc. please bring them.
HAM Radio Frequencies:
For those of you who have HAM radio,  the frequency for the day will be 146.610- tone 100.0  with 146.580 simplex as back-up.  
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 the Work Day.
