Registration

Registrar: Lee Edwards

Most of the registrar work is done in the hour or two before the ride starts. It can be intense, but you should be able to go on the ride after completing your job. Because you need to know what you are doing before the hordes arrive, all new registrars must come to Friday night registration to learn the ropes. Registrars normally work both Saturday and Sunday.

Friday 6 - 8 pm at Saturn of Gainesville, 3737 North Main Street

Saturday 6:30 - 8:30 am at North West Boys Club

Saturday 8:30 am - noon at North West Boys Club

Party

Packet Stuffing Party, Thursday 5-9 pm at Club HQ
We need as many as possible at 5 pm for the preliminary phase; everyone should be in attendance by 6 pm for dinner as we cannot start the production phase until everyone is in place. Each person is important -- if you will have a problem attending, let the coordinator know ASAP!
This is not a weekend volunteer activity (that would get you a shirt) but does get you free food!
