I wanna give a HUGE THANK YOU :rockon: To the following people for stepping up to the task of promoting, educating and assisting trail users in our parks!!! Building and maintaining trails are very important to our land managers, helping to be their eyes and ears and showing continued support for the trail users after the trails are built will help keep them open to us!!

By completeing the class on Sunday, they can now register and be a part of the Mountain Bike Patrol, either as Patrollers or Ambassadors!! These guys and gals are spending their personal time, money and effort to help insure everyone else continues to have great places to ride locally- You see'em, Let'em know how cool that is!!:coolgleamA:

For those registering on IMBA- the drop down box that shows all of the NMBP affiliates, and asks you to click on the one you're with has us listed as QCFORC. (It's in alphabetical order, so if your looking under FORC, you might miss it)

Thanks Ray for putting on a great seminar. I just wish all my seminars for work involved biking and beverages. As far as what we send in to IMBA;

for patrollers:
membership form
copy of first aid cert
copy of CPR cert
copy of sunday's training cert
money

for ambassadors:
membership form
copy of sunday's training cert
money

am I forgetting anything?

[Vibrato]

I think that covers it. (Other than jersey's, bike plates and stickers!)

I talked to Spencer Powlinson (IMBA Fields Programs Coordinator) today and the they're having trouble with the test site, the tests are currently down. he says to go ahead and send your stuff in- you can take the test when it comes back up, and he has a list of all class participants names.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!

[dru_b]

do you have an address where to send info to? i paid through the internet, do i still need membership application info to send in with my certificate copy?

[Vibrato]

For ambassadors, I believe you just do it over hte internet and can pay the same way or send a check in, for Patrol, you have to send in the application with a copy of the 1st aid/cpr cert attached.

Sounds like as an ambassador you should be all set!:banana:
