Go-4-12 Information

Hey WARTS,
You will see below the game plan for next weekend. Please make sure that you have all of the gear, and there are some new items in the mix this time. The plan is to meet at WGHS gym at 6am on the Friday morning, and I would like you to make sure you are there ready to go, so that we can get away on time. If you have a large family tent that could hold two teams, please let me know so that we don't take so many items.
Make sure that you have discussed who will be bringing map boards for their bikes and what extra race food you would like your support crew to have. Try and be all sorted with your gear, as we are in a remote location where there is not alot of light, so the more sorted you are before going down to napier, the easier it will be when we get there.

ALL PARENTS MUST SIGN A WAVIER FORM ON FRIDAY MORNING. IF YOUR PARENT IS NOT DROPPING YOU OFF THEN YOU WILL NEED TO COLLECT ONE FROM ME BEFORE FRIDAY. YOU CANNOT RACE WITHOUT A SIGNED WAVIER FORM.
