Support to Scouts Fantastic Race next Sunday 1st August

Hi All,


Please see below a request for assistance received from LowerYarra/Nillumbik Group for this coming Sunday. If anybody is available and interested to put in half day with a brigade car please let me know. I have asked District14 to supply a PFIT kit. I understand that they are fairly easy to operate with a laptop supplied and e-mail facilities. It sounds like a good opportunity to get to use one of these kits.

Please let me know if any of your members are interested and indicate whether morning or afternoon shift.

Many thanks

Best Regards

Hi Urs,


Apologies for the late request, but Brian had the briliant idea of asking you to be involved in this yesterday.

The job:

Nillumbik/Banyule Scouts via Russell Adams have asked us to provide communications for this race to record the scores by each team, transmit them to the MCV via Pfitkits and email. Time 0800 hours setup and briefing, finish about 1600 hours. Drinks and lunch provided by the Scouts if needed.

Location for MCV Rossanna Scout hall near the railway station.

Other needs: 3 Brigade cars complete with a Pfitkit a driver and an operator. We can have morning and afternoon shifts.

Our request to you is to provide on car, a Pfitkit and two personnel, possibly in shifts for the day. One a driver, the other to do the emailing of the score sheets, from each of the Railway stations involved between Eltham and Darebin. We will split the stations to be visited between the two or three cars available.

I will provide the smeacs briefing and the comms. plan.

Megan and I will operated the MCV.

Please advise if you are able to assist with the above.

Regards,

Lou Simonis
