Jeff, VE4MBQ, will need to know by SAT 10 MAR who will attend, if they are staying for lunch and if staying for lunch which of the five lunch choices (listed in a seperate email) they have selected.

The briefing notes are avalable here in advance of the training.

The 2018 Manitoba Marathon will be Sunday 17 June. Please complete the on-line Volunteer Form on the WARC web-site as soon as possible.

The sooner registrations are submitted the sooner we can start working on the 2018 roster. We need a completed new registration form from each Amateur Radio volunteer every year regardless of what Amateur organization they belong to.

The Amateur Radio Group Volunteer Briefing is TUE 12 JUNE 1900h Crescentwood CC 1170 Corydon Avenue (Map 24 D2 in the Sherlock map Book). Although the briefing starts at 1900h we will begin distribution of race information, documentation, volunteer t-shirts and pre-arranged equipment loans at 1815h. If you register as an Amateur Radio volunteer and cannot attend the 12 JUNE briefing please let us know in advance who will be attending to pick up your briefing materials and volunteer t-shirt. There will be an additional Medical Team briefing on another date for those assigning to the medical side.

We need all borrowed equipment returned as soon as possible. On Race Day loaner traffic vests & HTs should be turned over to the Course Closing Vehicle as it passes by (it is manned by Amateurs).

If you absolutely cannot complete the online form, a local copy is available for you to complete and forward to Jeff, VE4MBQ.
