Race Scoring – Volunteers Needed
The race season will soon be upon us and to see those race results posted we are in need of some additional volunteers to do scoring. The scoring process is straight forward and individual instruction will be provided. Also note that scoring a series counts toward your RC duty obligation. If you are interested please contact Jennifer Holliday at Chief Scorer.
Yard Water Update
