Red Top is flagged and markers are going out this week. We will be operating with the South Map out of the Iron Hill Parking area.
There will be pre-printed maps for each course. Please notify the meet director, Frank Mills if a large group plans to attend so that we can be sure to have enough maps.
We can always use more help in administration, instruction, and course breakdown the day of the event. I would like to ALREADY thank Les Hollingsworh for assistance in flagging and Connor Frost in course setting. I would also like to thank Kevin Haywood for map assistance and Bob Frost, Charlie Bleau and Steve Houghton for suggestions.
