Challenge awards he's made. TTT of the year and flights of the
year still need to be done once they're decided
Maintenance

do it) – Sort out lumber in the yard between good/bad – toilets
in the bathhouse are wobbly and need to be mounted firmly (Eric
says he'll do it when he gets back from AZ comp) – gutters at
pavilion need to be cleaned out (Jeff Dodgen says he'll do it).

Competition
Ollie reports we need drivers for team
challenge, mentions we said somewhere that we'd do something for
the top five teams. The big thing is Ollie will not be here
