We had these positions before the sheet was redesigned... FWIW, there are 8 station signs. We occasionally put out all 8, usually only 7 or sometimes 6 for our shorter courses. As we are designing o
Most ironically, I originally made the 8th station sign only because it fit on the amount of particle board sheets we had bought. Grid A,B,2-2 driver, 8 stations-and the math was easier at the for ha
I am very happy to hear about the 8 run groups returning -- some of work assignments on 6 groups were loooong! I don't want to step into the argument over how many course workers are required per sta
Since I think everyone agrees that we should not have all newbies at a station could we modify the signup sheet to make the first column of the course work assignment read "station captain" and put a

Maybe my point got lost a bit, I'll clarify... The whole goal is to make the work groups as short as possible for the most possible people. I think we can all agree that is a worthwhile goal, and le

Katie, I was just thinking that the system so well-tuned that people get upset about relatively minor inconveniences. People complain about glitches, not realizing that there are other clubs where it
the sacrifice might also be good to build karma for the Club, don't you think b So Tony, you're saying that we could solve the worker shortage with a simple slosh of gasoline and a match? ;) KeS
