We had a nice sunny day at the Warwick event with temps in the low 60's.  A persistant mild wind kept it a little chilly under the pavillion for registration but it was quite pleasant in the woods.  I would like to express my thanks to Mary Frank, who not only was our course setter, but mentored a first time event director through the details of organizing an event.  My thanks also go to Diane Reider, who rode to the rescue at the last minute to help with E-punch: Kathy Urban, who staffed e-punch and patiently explained to me the details of finalizing the numbers and sending the results; David Morgan and Becky Hughes, our wonderful registration staff; Steve Orwaschel, who helped man Start; Dave Urban, Eric Weyman, Mark Frank and Mitch Zimmer, who picked up controls; and Bob Agosta, who helped pack everything up at the end.  I offer my gratitude to my husband, Mitch, and son, Jerry, who helped set up controls, offer instruction, man start, and did whatever else I asked of them. If I have missed anyone I sincerely express my apologies.

We had a relatively small crew working this event and we didn't have any major problems, but it would have been nice to have a few extra hands available.  The one major lesson I learned in organizing this event is to be more pro-active in finding volunteers and not waiting for people to sign up.  So I encourage everyone to take a look at the upcoming schedule and offer to help in some small way!  Your event directors will greatly appreciate your help.

Many thanks to everyone who played a part. Great time (you can guess which meaning of 'time' applies) in the woods!

Warwick results have been sent to Vadim, who works his magic and puts them up. So be a little patient as he has his hands full with more important things right now. :-)
