FLCC> Swandrome Cyclocross Update

[Ernie Bayles]

Steve,

I will take care of the portolet.  We should see if Andy M. can pick up 
the signs (where are they now?--anyone know?) as they have been used in 
the past to help people locate the venue.  I can also be there early to 
help with registraton, although Sandy Fitterer has graciously helped us 
with this in the past, and I'd be happy to help with timing and results 
(so I don't have to race).  It is also possible that Don will be back 
and will help with the excel thing. 

Ernie
