Team-1,

At the Annual Meeting two weeks ago, the membership voted to consider both Saturdays AND Sundays for possible deferral days.  To that end, while the forecast for Saturday would be a marginally flyable day due to windchill, Sunday is a much better day with wind about 5, sunshine, and temp in the 20s!  With the light wind, we will allow 12,500 ft from the away pad and 8,000 ft from the road.

Setup begins at 8:45am at Alkay for equipment gathering: trailer and equipment arriving at Birch Run at 9:30.  Dress warmly and don’t forget your sunglasses, it’s gonna be bright!  Good opportunity to use your warming devices!  Team-1 has one pair of snowshoes, otherwise you will need good boots!  There will be a warming tent near the LCO table to help.  Please angle park in a northbound direction on Clausedale, south of the porta-potty.

Jay Calvert of www.impulse-buys.com has committed to attend for all of your motor needs.  As always, remember to bring cash for registration and your Tripoli Membership card.  This is a good chance for big air!  For those interested, some are meeting at the Cracker Barrel on Pierson Rd at 7:15am for breakfast.

I hope to see you all there!

Team-1,

In all of our operations, we must consider safety first.  Wind-chill temperatures will be in the single digits and would unnecessarily put our members at risk during an all-day outdoor event.  Let's see what next week brings.

Team-1,

The weather forecast for Saturday is snowy, low clouds and breezy.  Sunday is no better.  Let's see what next week brings!

I hope to see you all at the Annual Meeting this Sunday!
