Hi all,

Well this is the 1st email into the "group" and it is just a repeat of one I sent earlier.

We have had a number of people respond, but are still well short of the 21 people we need.

If you have not yet volunteered for this event, please send an email to wicen@crarc.ampr.org (not to this "group" or directly back to me) indicating your availability.

here is the info to date....

G'day all,

Well we have just finished our 1st Car Rally of the year and another one looms....

The LCCC Safari Rally will be held on Saturday 14th May (which clashes with the next Foundation Licence Course !) and we are looking for volunteers to man the 12 Field stations and another 6 or so for HQ.

This years safari rally has 5 physical stages each run twice, 3 at Kowen, 1 at Uriarra and 1 at Bluetts.

The anticipated stages are as follows....

SS1 / SS6 River Rd SS2 / SS7 Ridge Runner (a new stage that runs along the NSW / ACT border) SS3 / SS8 Basher (which is a combination of roads that has competitors going over the "jump" in the opposite direction) SS4 / SS9 Sherwood (starts top of Sherwood Rd & runs around to finish on Blue Range Rd SS5 / SS10 Bluetts

HQ will be at Molonglo Gorge recreation area, and probably be in the old caravan we have used out at "Cottage 5".

The organisors have indicated that they only need midpoint SOS positions in "Basher" & "Sherwood", hence the figure of 12 field stations.

This has the potential to be a long day, with 1st car away at 10:30 AM, and last car due to enter the last stage at about 7:15 PM, so with an anticipated meet time of around 2.5-3 hours before the 1st competitor some people may be in for a long day.

So, have a look at your calendar and let us know if you can help.

Cheers,

... Phil VK1PL.
