We are looking for judges, techs and timers.

In. Especially if Manning's gonna be there.

I heard from Jay Butcher that the Ohio TCC will be that same weekend in Cleveland.

Hmmmmmm.....

 

[GregManning]

Bummer that they are on the same date !

 

[Norm_Hall]

Thank you Tyler, Jon, Greg and Kristian (Meg coming?). We couldn't have these comps without your help and support.

 

[Norm_Hall]

Still looking for judges, techs and timers.

<shaking my head> I have an equal interest in both events. Someone, PLEASE stagger these events. It just seems like event planners could report their event dates to the ISA and someone at ISA could say "Well...Ohio's event is that same day." It wouldn't be as be of a deal if one of these events was the same day as say the PNW event but both of these events are in the same Great Lake region. Someone please move one of these events while still in the pre-planning phase. When rained out, the event is moved and while I know this is not rain...it can reduce the amount of volunteers at one event or the other so please act now.

P.S. I'm seeing I should proof read.

 

[TreeWackers08]

Kristian you have a vaild point. I would love to strech my wings a little and stop in to see the Ohio comp. I'll start the rain dance now.

Does this mean Tyler is out also for IL.

 

[PUClimber]

Nope, not out. I commited to Illinois first and that's where I will be.

 

[TreeWackers08]

Sweet!

Good Show Tyler !

Sorry volunteers. I'm out as chair and don't want to ruffle any feathers, out of respect for the new chair. It's a tough gig chairing a local TCC. After chairing Illinois' for 17 years, I noticed it's getting harder and harder to get quality judges. My biggest fear was an injured climber due to negligence of a non experienced judge. So, I, on behalf of the IL Chapter, thank all the TreeBuzz volunteers for volunteering to help with the IL TCC.

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Thanks for spending so much time to enable that opportunity for so many and for so long. You are one of a kind buddy!

X2 Norm. Every time is an honor, privilege and damn fun!
